A sample of 4.50 g of methane occupies 12.7 dm3 at 310 K. (a) Calculate the work done when the gas expands isothermally against

a constant external pressure of 200 Torr until its volume has increased by 3.3 dm3. (b) Calculate the work that would be done if the same expansion occurred reversibly.

Answer:

(A) Work done will be 87.992 KJ

(B) Work done will be 167.4 KJ            

Explanation:

We have given mass of methane m = 4.5 gram = 0.0045 kg

Volume occupies V_1=12.7dm^3=12.7liters

And volume is increased by 3.3dm^3 so V_2=12.7+3.3=16liters

Temperature T = 310 K

Pressure is given as 200 Torr = 26664.5 Pa

(a) At constant pressure work done is given by

W=P(V_2-V_1)=26664.5\times (16-12.7)=87992.85J=87.992kj

(b) At reversible process work done is given by W=nRTln\frac{V_2}{V_1}

We have given mass = 4.5 gram

Molar mass of methane = 16

So number of moles n=\frac{mass\ in\ gram}{mol;ar\ mass}=\frac{4.5}{16}=0.28125

So work done W=0.28125\times 8.314\times 310ln\frac{16}{12.7}=167.4J

A car is raised on a lift at a service station (so it has some amount of gravitational potential energy relative to the ground).
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:Twice

Explanation:

It is given that car is raised on a lift with respect to ground.

Suppose car is raised by a height of h m from ground having mass m so gain in Potential Energy by car is

Gain in P.E._1=m\times g\times h

Now if it were raised twice as high,i.e. 2 h height from ground then gain in Gravitational Potential Energy

=m\times g\times 2h

P.E._2=2m\cdot g\cdot h

It is clear that P.E._2=2\cdot P.E._1

Thus in second case gain in Potential Energy is twice as compared to first case

1) What kind of energy is gained when your roller coaster goes uphill?
Dvinal [7]

1) Gravitational potential energy

In fact, gravitational potential energy is given by: GPE=mgh

where m is the mass of the roller coaster, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth. Therefore, when the roller coaster goes uphill, the height h increases and the roller coaster gains gravitational potential energy.

2) The relationship between potential and kinetic energy is:

M.E.=K.E.+G.P.E.

where ME is the total mechanical energy, KE is the kinetic energy, GPE is the gravitational potential energy. Since the value of ME is constant (when no friction is present), this means that when KE increases, GPE decreases, and vice-versa.

3) If friction is removed from the track, the roller coaster would move forever. In fact, in the equation written in part 2), ME is constant only in case there is no friction - when friction is present, part of the energy is lost due to the friction, so the total ME available decreases little by little until it becomes zero, and the roller coaster cannot move anymore.

4) It matters because it affects the magnitude of the friction. In fact, friction is given by

F=\mu mg

where \mu is the coefficient of friction, m is the mass ,and g the gravitational acceleration. When the number of carts is increased, the mass increases, therefore the friction increases as well.
