5.16 Questions

Image003

Answers:

1.           The number of moles of gas and volume

2.           The pressure increases because the particles have more kinetic energy when they are heated, therefore more collisions to the walls of the container are caused with more force and more frequency.

3.           No, temperature is proportional to  average speed (m/s)2 not (m/s)

4.           Yes, it is because (m/s)2 is proportional to Kinetic energy, and from our graph we see that (m/s)2 is also proportional to temperature. Therefore temperature is also proportional to Kinetic Energy.

5.           The word “average” is used because the particles in the container have a range of speeds and therefore a range of K.E’s.

Answers:

 

Q1:  Absolute zero (-273 degrees) is when the particles CANNOT move anymore, they have no more kinetic energy.

Q2: i) 20+273 = 293K     ii) 150+273 = 423K     iii) 1000+273 =1273K       

Q3: i) 300-273 =  27degrees    ii) 650-273 =  377degrees    iii) 1000 - 273 = 727 degrees

5.13 Starter 2

02 November 2011

18:17

·         Use particle theory to explain why the gas in the balloon contracts

  

Explanation

·         The temperature of the gas inside the balloon decreases so the average speed of the particles decreases

·         Consequently the gas particles collide with the walls of the balloon with less force and less collisions per second

·         Because the walls of the container are flexible, the  volume decreases

·         5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

 

        pressure difference = height × density × g

                               ∆p = h × ρ × g

 

 

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)

h = height of the fluid (m)

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3)

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

 

 

5.6 Demo - squirting water column

Image001

·         The bottom hole squirts water the furthest

·         Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure

·         Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large

·         So ∆p = large

 

 

5.6 Questions

Collins, p.107

Image004

?

Mr. Baker’s Answer:

∆p = h × ρ × g

250,000 - 100,000 = h x 1,000 x 10

h = 15m

Image002

?

Mr. Baker’s Answer:

ρ = 0.42g/cm3 = 420kg/m3

 

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = 50 x 420 x 1.4

∆p =29,400Pa or 29kPa

Notes:

ρfresh water = 1,000kg/m3

g = 10N/kg

1,000mbar = 1 bar = 100,000Pa

5.4 - Written Questions

Image001

Question 1 A:

·      They have a large surface area so the amount of P can be spread around equally

·      Therefore there is less pressure on one area of the snow

Question 2 A:

·      For the same reason that Inuits wear snow boots. The bigger the S.A of the tyre, the more the P=F/A is spread around so it is the same P amount all over.

·      Therefore the tractor will not sink and get stuck in the mud.
