A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 5.75 L to a final volume of 1.23 L by an external pressure of 1.00 atm. During the
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>The internal energy change is 330.01 J</em>
Explanation:
Given
the initial volume = 5.75 L
the final volume = 1.23 L
is the external pressure = 1.00 atm
q the heat energy removed = -128 J (since is removed from the system)
expansion against a constant external pressure is an example of an irreversible pathway, here pressure in is greater than pressure out and can be obtained thus;
W = -ΔV
W = -1.00 x(1.23 - 5.75)
W = -1.00 x -4.52
W = 4.52 L atm
converting to joules we have
W = 4.52 L atm x 101.33 J/ L atm = 458.01 J
The internal energy change during compression can be calculated thus;
ΔU = q + W
ΔU = -128 J + 458.01 J
ΔU = 330.01 J
Therefore the internal energy change is 330.01 J

Answer:
v₂ = 0.56 m / s
Explanation:
This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂
Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw
The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0
The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m
We substitute in the equation
+ ρ g y₁ =
+ ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂
½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)
v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)
Let's calculate
v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)
v₂ = 0.56 m / s
