A balloon made of rubber and filled with air has a volume of 1 m3 under standard conditions of pressure and temperature. What is the volume of the balloon (VMars) if it is placed outside a Martian station where the pressure and temperature are 600 Pa and -60 °C, respectively? Assume that the balloon will not burst on Mars.
A certain amount of carbon dioxide gas occupies a volume of 50 liters. The gas is at room temperature (25°C) and under normal atmospheric pressure (about one atmosphere). What would be the new pressure if we compressed this gas into a volume of 25 liters and increased the temperature by 15°C so that the new temperature would reach 40°C?
Determine the sum of the translational kinetic energy of air at 1 atm in a metallic tank measuring 10.0 m by 6.0 m by 4.0 m. Assume the tank is full of air that behaves like an ideal gas.
An oxygen cylinder for scuba diving is placed horizontally on the ground. Consider that 5.0 × 1024 oxygen molecules moving at 485 m/s in the x direction collide head-on with a 50 cm2 walled section of cylinder each second. Determine the pressure exerted by the oxygen on the walled section.
A rigid insulator container is divided into two compartments by a thin membrane. The left compartment contains nar moles of argon gas (monoatomic), while the right compartment contains nni moles of nitrogen gas (diatomic). Two temperature sensors, one placed in the left compartment and one in the right compartment, measure Tar and Tni respectively. The membrane prevents any mixing of the gases. Find the final temperature Tf of the system in terms of nar, nni, Tar, and Tni when thermal equilibrium is reached.
In a physics simulation, four particles are moving with unique velocities as follows:
v1 = (10î - 20ĵ) m/s
v2 = (30î + 40ĵ) m/s
v3 = (-40î + 10ĵ) m/s
v4 = (20î - 30ĵ) m/s
Determine i) Average velocity (vavg), ii) Average speed (vavg), and iii) Root-mean-square velocity (vrms) of the particles in the simulation.
In an experiment, a 3.0 g sample of argon gas was enclosed in a special chamber. If the rms speed of the atoms inside the chamber is 900 m/s, determine the total thermal energy of the argon gas.
A hot air balloon uses a mixture of 60% nitrogen and 40% helium. The balloon has a volume of 2500 cm³. What is the ratio of the average kinetic energies of these two types of molecules, nitrogen to helium, respectively?
2.50 mol of an ideal monoatomic gas is placed in a constant volume container. How much heat should be supplied to raise the temperature of the gas by 44 K at temperatures close to room temperature?
