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.

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

In order for a process to be spontaneous, Multiple Choice the entropy of the surroundings must increase. the entropy of the surr
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is entropy change of the surrounding plus the entropy change of the system must be positive.

Explanation:

The term entropy is a state function.Entropy can be defined as the disorder or randomness of the molecules in a system.

 A spontaneous reaction is a type of reaction which deals with the release of free energy.The change of free energy in case of spontaneous reaction is always negative.

 According to the second law of thermodynamics a spontaneous reaction will occur in a system if the total entropy of both  system and surrounding increases during the reaction.

A student was assigned the task of determining the identity of an unknown liquid. The student weighed a clean, dry 250-mL Erlenm
LiRa [457]

Answer:

248.4 mL

Explanation:

Erlenmeyer = 78.649 g

Erlenmeyer + Water = 327.039 g

Water = (Erlenmeyer + Water) - Erlenmeyer

Water = 327.039 - 78.649

Water = 248.4 g

if the density of water is 1 g/mL, we can say that each mL of water weigh 1 g, so we have 248.4 mL of water in the Erlenmeyer Flask.
