    B What is meant by "upper limit of work done on Earth"?

    I think that the work is meant to be work done for instance in power stations. Or is it similar to work I do on a body when I lift it for example? But how can we then do that work on our Earth? I just need to understand the task, otherwise I want to solve it myself. The problem involves...

    Find the growth of temperature of the gas

    Homework Statement A mass of 3 mole gas is heated in a constant pressure of 1.5 atm, expanding from 40 litre to 60 litre. Find the temperature growth. Homework Equations V1/V2=T1/T2. The Attempt at a Solution I thought to write V1/V2=T1/T2. But I don't know T1. The answer is 121 K in my book.

    How to Calculate the Pressure of Each Element in a Compound Mixture?

    Homework Statement A compound of ether (0.287 g) and chloroform (0.568 g) evaporates in the temperature 373 K in an empty container with volume 0.0001m3. Find the pressure of each element. I don't know which formula of ether should I use since there are many. However even if I knew the n of...

    Need some info about light heat amplified by lens

    It is known that a magnifing glass can start a fire, but I don't fully understand the phenomenon and I have the next questions: - Does the effect depend on the shape and the material of the lens you use? - Where can I find some details about heat produced by light or particulary on this...

    Termodynamics: saturation pressure vs total air pressure

    Hi! I have a question. The experiment goes like this. i hermetically close air and chloroform at standard pressure. now i want to calculate the end pressure of gas mixture after chloroform vapor gets saturated. is it as simple as adding up the chloroform saturated pressure to the starting air...

    Solving Thermodynamics Doubt - João

    I was solving the question below : "A cylinder have a piston whose mass is insignificant and moves without friction. One mole of an ideal gas is confined into the cylinder. If we expand isotermally the gass at temperature 298K, against a constant external pressure of 0.1 atm, the gas...

    TERMODYNAMICS - gas leaking from container at T=const

    Homework Statement Tank contain an ideal gas. Known is type of gas, temperature of gas T, volume of tank V=const, pressure of gas in tank p1, and the temperature of surrounding air T (same as temperature of gas in the tank). That is state 1. Tank has small valve that was not closed...

    Cylinder,piston termodynamics problem

    Homework Statement A closed vertical cylinder contains a mobile piston that splits it in two parts of volumes V1 and V2 with a ratio V1/V2=3. Both parts contain the same mass of an ideal gas at the same temperature T. Both chambers are heated to a temperature of 4T/3, find the ratio of the new...

    Independent variables in termodynamics

    Say I want to parametrize the plane. I can use cartesian (x,y) or polar (r,theta). But I cannot use x and r, because if I draw a circle and a vertical line, there are two points of intersection. I guess x and theta will do, because theta specifies a ray that will intersect any vertical line...

    Termodynamics: heat supplied with loss of mass

    Homework Statement Find the mass of liquid lead at fussion temperature needed to heat up 1kg of liquid water from 20ºC to 60ºC, considering P = 1 atm, and a loss of 100 mg of water due to local vaporization. My question is: what do I do with that loss of mass? Do I calculate Q for m =...

    2nd principle of termoDynamics

    The second principle of termodynamics says: cooler object cannot give away heat spontaneously to warmer one. I wonder then how do cooler and wormer object appear in a closed system after they have equalized their heat.Or in other words: Is there a way back <=> Could this phenomenon be...
