-- The potential energy of a 12-lb bowling ball up on the shelf
doesn't have anything to do with the temperature of the ball or
the shelf.
-- The potential energy of a jar full of gas does depend on the
temperature of the gas. The warmer it is, the greater its pressure
is, and the more work it can do if you let it out through a little hole
in the jar. If it gets hot enough, it'll have enough potential energy
to blow the jar to smithereens.
Answer:
2 a) it is less dense than the water
2 b) it is more dense than the water
3 a ping pong ball is hollow and less dense than the water so it quickly bounces up to the surface of the water
Answer: You do not specify what is being asked for. ∆E? ∆H?
∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J
∆H = 430 J
Explanation:
If asked for the value of ∆H the answer is simply the change in heat, and in the question, it states introduction of 430 J of heat is causing the system to expand.
Therefore ∆H = 430 J
If asked for ∆E, we know that ∆E = ±q (heat) + work (-P∆V) = ±q + w
The question states that 238 J of work are done AND the system expanded
(work is negative because expansion means work is done BY the system, releasing energy/heat... Conversely, if the system were compressed, work is done ON the system, absorbing heat/energy)
Therefore, ∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J
