1.

When a gas filled in a closed vessel is heated through 1°C, its pressure increases by 0.4% what is the initial temperature of the gas?

Answer»

Initial pressure P1 = P

Final pressure P2 = P + \(\frac{0.4P}{100}\)

T1 = T, T2 = T + 1

At constant volume \(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\) = \(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\)

\(\frac{P(1+ 0.004)}{P}\) = \(\frac{T - 1}{T}\)

PT + 0.004 PT = PT + P

0.004PT = P

∴ T = \(\frac{1}{0.004}\) 

= 250 K

∴ Initial Temperature of the gas = 250 K

2.

If the area of metal changes by 0.22% when it is heated through 10°C, then calculate the coefficient of superficial expansion.

Answer»

\(\frac{ΔA}{A} =\)0.22% = \(= \frac {0.22}{100}\)

Change in temperature ΔT = 10°C

∴ Coefficient of cubical expansion

\(a_A = \frac{ΔA}{AΔT}\)

\(a_A = \frac{0.22}{100 \times 10} = 0.22 \times 10^{-3}\)

= 22 × 10 /°C

At what common temperature a block of wood metal appear equally cold or hot when touched ?

Answer»

A body appears hot when touched if heat flows from the body to our hand and vice – versa. If there is no flow of heat across the body and hand, the body can not be identified while it is hot or cold as bodies are in thermal equilibrium with our body. So both block of wood and metal must have the temperature of our body i.e., 37°C.

46.

What will happen if a cold body is placed in contact with a hot body?
