Physics 1028 Study Guide - Final Guide: Boiling Point, Joule, Ideal Gas Law
Document Summary
Solution to part (a): the argument for the amount of heat is based on the first law of thermodynamics for a closed system. We know that w = 0 j since the volume in this problem remains constant (no provision is given to allow for an increase or decrease of the container size). Finding the increase in the internal energy allows us to determine the amount of heat required. [8. 24] for u with n = (100 g) / (39. 95 g/mol) = 2. 5 mol. Solution to part (b): note that the question is not for the root mean square speed but for . The relative increase of this quantity is defined as: i. e. , the relative increase is a fraction of the initial value. The result must be multiplied by 100 in order to express this value in percent. This corresponds to a 7. 6% increase relative to the initial value.
