Question

A.) A 4.1-kg block of ice originally at 263 K is placed in thermal contact with a 13.1-kg block of silver (cAg = 233 J/kg-K) which is initially at 1064 K. The H2O - silver system is insulated so no heat flows into or out of it.

-At what temperature will the system achieve equilibrium?

_____K

B.) If 1 mol of a gas in a cylindrical container occupies a volume of 10 L at a pressure of 1 atm...

-The cylinder is fitted with a piston so that the volume of the gas can vary. When the gas is heated at constant pressure, it expands to a volume of 20 L. What is the temperature of the gas in kelvins?

_____K

-Next, the volume is fixed at 20 L, and the gas's temperature is increased to 350 K. What is the pressure of the gas now?

_____atm

Explanation / Answer

A) We know that Q = m c dT

When the system in equilibrium

Qw = QAg

mw Cw (Tw - Tf) = mAg CAg (Tf - Tag)

Rearrange above relation for final temperature Tf

Tf = [ mw Cw Tw + mAg CAg TAg ] / [mw Cw + mAg CAg ]

= [ 4.1* 4186* (263) + 13.1 * 233* 1064 ] / [4.1* 4186 + 13.1 * 233 ]

= 383.94 K

B) use ideal gas equation P = n RT / V

P1 = 1 atm = 101.2 kP, V = 10L = 0.01m3

R = 8.31 J/ mol-K

from the inital temperature is

T1 = P1 V1 / n R

= 101.2 * 1000 * 0.01 / 1 * 8.31

= 121 K

We know that

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

==> 0.01 / 121 = 0.02 / T2

==> T2 = 243 K

C) P = n R T / V

= 1 * 8.31 * 350 / 0.02

= 145425 pa

= 1.435 atm
