2. PAL #4 Kinetic Theory  50 liters of a gas at 20 C and 2 atm  How many moles?  PV=nRT, n = PV/RT  Convert to SI units  V i = 50 L /1000 L/m3 = 0.05 m 3  T i = 20 C +273.15 = 293.15 K  P = (2 atm)(101300 Pa/atm) = 202600 Pa  n = (202600)(0.05) / (8.31)(293.15) = 4.16 moles

3. PAL #4 Kinetic Theory  Compressed to 40 liters, temp raised to 40 C  What will the new pressure be?  V f = 40/1000 = 0.04 m 3  T f = 40 + 273.15 = 313.15 K  PV= nRT, P = nRT/V  P f = (4.16)(8.31)(313.15) / (0.04) = 270637 Pa  Does this make sense?  If you compress a gas and raise the temperature there are more molecule hitting each square meter and they have more energy so pressure should increase

4. If a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature undergoes a increase in volume, what happens to the pressure? a) It goes up b) It goes down c) It stays the same d) It depends on the value of R e) It depends on the number of moles

6. Consider two rooms of a house, room A and room B. If the (otherwise identical) molecules in room B have twice as much average kinetic energy than the ones in A, how does the temperature of room A compare to the temperature of room B? A)T A = T B B)T A = 2 T B C)T A = ½ T B D)T A = √2 T B E)T A = (3/2) T B

7. How does the rms velocity of the molecules in room A compare to the rms velocity of the molecules in room B? A)v A = v B B)v A = 2 v B C)v A = ½ v B D)v A = √2 v B E)v A = (3/2) v B F)v A = (1/√2)v B

8. Phase Change  Adding heat to ice will raise its temperature, but,    Heat goes into phase change  solid to liquid --  liquid to gas --  How much energy does this take?   Represented by L

9. Heat of Fusion

10. Phase Change and Heat  For liquid-solid change:   For liquid-gas change:   Amount of heat: Q = mL  Adding heat will raise temperature only to a phase change point   After that additional heat will go into phase change    Note that you must make mL gained positive and mL lost negative

11. Heat and Temperature

12. Phase Change Calorimetry  Need to include all of the mc  T and mL terms for your calorimetry problem, but,   Method: guess at the final result, if you get a non-physical result, try a different guess  e.g.  Can also do some quick initial computations to try and find the final state  See

13. Melting Ice Cube  Consider a 10 g ice cube at -10 C in 100 g of water at 10 C, what is final T? Assume ice does not melt   (0.01)(2090)(T f -(-10) + (0.1)(4186)(T f -10) =0  T f =  Wrong! Ice can’t be at greater than 0 C   (0.01)(2090)(0-(-10)) +(0.01)(33.5X10 4 )+ (0.01)(4186)(T f - 0)+(0.1)(4186)(T f -10) = 0  T f =  This T is OK since all that is left is water   If we got a T less that 0 it would mean that only a fraction of the ice melted (set T f = 0 and solve for m melt )

14. Phase Change and Pressure   Boiling point depends on both temperature and pressure  Examples:    In general lower external pressure means lower boiling point  Easier for molecules to escape to vapor phase

15. Change in Boiling Point with Pressure

16. Phase Diagram  Whether a substance is a solid, liquid or gas depends on the temperature and pressure   Keeping T constant while increasing P usually produces a solid   Ice is less dense than water  This causes ice skates to melt ice and freezing water to expand and produce frost heaves

17. Phase Diagram

18. Phase Diagram Features   Beyond the critical point there is no distinction between a liquid and gas   Solid and liquid phases separated by a fusion curve   Solid and gas phases separated by a sublimation curve

19. Velocity Distribution for Water

20. Evaporation  How can water evaporate (become gas) if it is not at the boiling point?   Evaporation only works if the air above is not saturated with vapor  Since some of them will revert back to liquid   This is why it is hard to cool off on humid days and easier on windy days 
