Materials expand when heated. Consider a metal rod of length L0 at temperature T0. If the temperature is changed by an amount ΔT

, then the rod’s length changes by ΔL=αL0ΔT, where α is the thermal expansion coefficient.
For steel, α=1.24×10−5∘C−1.(a) A steel rod has length L0=40cm at T0=40∘C. What is its length at T=180∘C?
(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)
L≈cm
(b) Find its length at T=90∘C if its length at T0=120∘C is 65 in.
(Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.)
L≈ in.
(c) Express length L as a function of T and α if L0=60in. at T0=150∘C.

Answer:

(a) The length at temperature 180°C is 40.070 cm

(b) The length at temperature 90°C is 64.976 inches

(c) L(T, α) = 60·α·T - 9000·α + 60

Explanation:

(a) The given parameters are

The thermal expansion coefficient, α for steel = 1.24 × 10⁻⁵/°C

The initial length of the steel L₀ = 40 cm

The initial temperature, t₀ = 40°C

The length at temperature 180°C = L

Therefore, from the given relation, for change in length, ΔL, we have;

ΔL = α × L₀ × ΔT

The amount the temperature changed ΔT = 180°C - 40°C = 140°C

Therefore, the change in length, ΔL, is found as follows;

ΔL = α × L₀ × ΔT = 1.24 × 10⁻⁵/°C × 40 × 140°C = 0.07 cm

Therefore, L =  L₀ + ΔL = 40 + 0.07 = 40.07 cm

The length at temperature 180°C = 40.07 cm

(b) Given that the length at T = 120°C is 65 in., we have;

The temperature at which the new length is sought = 90°C

The amount the temperature changed ΔT = 90°C - 120°C = -30°C

ΔL = α × L₀ × ΔT = 1.24 × 10⁻⁵/°C × 65 × -30°C = -0.024375 inches

The length, L at 90°C is therefore, L = L₀ + ΔL = 65 - 0.024375 = 64.976 in.

The length at temperature 90°C = 64.976 inches

(c) L = L₀ + ΔL  = L₀ +  α × L₀ × ΔT = L₀ +  α × L₀ × (T - T₀)

Therefore;

L = 60 +  α × 60 × (T - 150°C)

L = 60 + α × 60 × T - 9000 × α

L(T, α) = 60·α·T - 9000·α + 60

A buffer solution contains 0.345 M acetic acid and 0.377 M sodium acetate . If 0.0613 moles of potassium hydroxide are added to
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

pH = 5.54

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:

  • pH = pKa + log\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}

For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.

We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:

  • CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
  • CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH

The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.

Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:

  • pH = 4.75 + log\frac{(0.0942+0.0613)mol/0.250L}{(0.0862-0.0613)mol/0.250L} = 5.54
