VII. Numerical problems.

Question 1.
Find the final temperature of a copper rod whose area of cross section changes from 10 m² to 11 m² due to heating. The copper rod is initially kept at 90 K. (Coefficient of superficial expansion is 0.0021 /K).
Change in area ΔA = 11 – 10 = 1 m²
Initial temperature T1 = 90 K
Let Final temperature be T2K
A0 = 10 m²
Coefficient of superficial expansion is
αA = 0.0021 / k
$$\frac{ΔA}{A_0}$$ = αAΔT
$$\frac{1}{10}$$ = 0.0021 ΔT
∴ ΔT = 0.0021 × 10
= 0.021
T2 – T1 = 0.021
T2 – 90 = 0.021
∴ Final temperature T2 = 90.021 K

Question 2.
Calculate the coefficient of cubical expansion of a zinc bar. Whose volume is increased 0.25 m³ from 0.3 m³ due to the change in its temperature of 50 K.
Initial volume V0 = 0.25 m³
Final volume = 0.30 m³
Change in volume ΔV = 0.3 – 0.25 = 0.05 m³
Temperature ΔT = 50K
Coefficient of cubical expansion is

∴ Coefficient of Cubical expansion
αv = 0.004 /K

Question 1.
Derive the ideal gas equation.
The ideal gas equation is an equation, which relates all the properties of an ideal gas. An ideal gas obeys Boyle’s law and Charles’s law and Avogadro’s law.
According to Boyle’s law, PV = constant ………. (1)
According to Charles’s law,
$$\frac{V}{T}$$ = constant ……… (2)
$$\frac{V}{T}$$ = constant …….. (3)
After combining equations (1), (2) and (3), you equation. can get the following
$$\frac{V}{nT}$$ = constant ……. (4)
The above relation is called the combined law of gases. If you consider a gas, which contains µ moles of the gas, the number of atoms contained will be equal to µ times the Avogadro number, N0.
i.e., n = µNA
Using equation (5), in equation (4) can be written as
$$\frac{PV}{µN_{A}T}$$ = constant
The value of the constant in the above equation is taken to be KB, which is called as Boltzmann constant (1.38 × 10-23 JK-1). Hence, we have the following equation:
$$\frac{PV}{µN_{A}T}$$ = KB
PV = µNAKBT
µNAKB = R
which is termed as universal gas constant whose value is 8.31 J mol-1 K-1.
PV = RT
Ideal gas equation is also called as equation of state because it gives the relation between the state variables and it is used to describe the state of any gas.

Question 2.
Explain the experiment of measuring the real and apparent expansion of a liquid with a neat diagram.

To start with, the liquid whose real and apparent expansion is to be determined is poured in a container up to a level. Mark this level as L1. Now, heat the container and the liquid using a burner. Initially, the container receives the thermal energy and it expands. As a result, the volume of the liquid appears to have reduced. Mark this reduced level of liquid as L2. On further heating, the thermal energy supplied to the liquid through the container results in the expansion of the liquid. Hence, the level of liquid rises to L3. Now, the difference between the levels L1 and L3 is called as apparent expansion, and the difference between the levels L2 and L3 is called real expansion. The real expansion is always more than that of apparent expansion.
Real expansion = L3 – L2
Apparent expansion = L3 – L1

All liquids do not expand on heating. If water is heated from 0°C to 4°C it contracts.

Question 6.
What will happen if two bodies are at different temperatures brought in contact with one other?
There will be a transfer of heat energy from the hot body to the cold body until a thermal equilibrium is established between them.

Question 7.
What will happen if a cold body is placed in contact with a hot body?
Some thermal energy is transferred from the hot body to the cold body. As a result, there is some rise in the temperature of the cold body and decrease in the temperature of the hot body. This process will continue until these two bodies attain the same temperature.

Question 8.
Why is invar is used in making a clock pendulum or spring to oscillate?
Invar an alloy of Ni and steel has extremely low thermal expansion so the change in length in summer and winter will be a very small change, so the time period of oscillation will be very small. Hence the clock gives almost the correct time.

Question 9.
What is meant by heating?
The process in which heat energy flows from a body at a higher temperature to another body at lower temperature is known as heating.

Question 10.
What is the average velocity of the molecules of an ideal gas?
As the velocity components of molecules of an ideal gas, all three axis time and time axis are equal in magnitude so their vector sum will be zero. So every velocity of an ideal gas is zero.

Question 11.
What changes will occur when heat is given to a substance?

1. Temperature of the substance rises.
2. The substance may change its state from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas. (Hi) The substance will expand when heated.

Question 12.
Why does the temperature less than zero on the absolute scale not possible.
As the absolute temperature (T) is directly proportioned to KE of molecules of gas, and KE of molecules can never be negative so the absolute scale temperature can never be negative.

Question 13.

VII. Numerical problems.

Question 1.
Transform 100°C into K.
T (kelvin) = (273 + t°C) K
= (273 + 100) K
= 373 K
100°C = 373 K

Question 2.
Convert 23 K into °C.
T = 23 K
T°C = K – 273
= 23 – 273
= -250°C
23 K = -250°C

Question 3.
If the gap between steel sails on the railway track of 66 m long is 3.63 cm at 10°C. Then at what value of temperature will just touch of steel is 11 × 10-6 °C.
Solution:
L0 = 66 m = 6600 cm
α = 11 × 10-6 °C.
∆L = Lt – L0 = 3.63
t1 = 10°C
t2 = ?
$$\alpha=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{o}} \Delta \mathrm{T}}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}{\Delta \mathrm{T}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}_{0} \times \alpha}} \\ {\Delta \mathrm{T}=\frac{3.63}{6600 \times 11 \times 10^{-6}}}\end{array}$$
∆T = t2 – t1 = 50
⇒ t2 – 10 = 50
⇒ t2 = 50 + 10 = 60°C
so final temperature t2 = 60°C

Question 4.
At what temperature do the ratings of Celsius and Fahrenheit scales coincide?
Let TB = TB – x

∴ 180x = 100x – 3200
80x = -3200
x = –$$\frac{3200}{80}$$ = -40°
x = -40°
∴ Hence -40°C and -40° f are identical Temperature.

Question 5.
On heating a glass block of 105 cm³ from 25°C to 40°C its volume increases by 4 cm³. Calculate the coefficient of
(i) Cubical expansion and
(ii) Linear expansion
Volume V0 = 105 cm³
Change in temperature ΔT = 40 – 25 = 15°C
Change in volume ΔV = 4 cm³
(i) The coefficient of cubical expansion is

αV = 26.67 × 10-6/°C

(ii) Coefficient of linear expansion is
αL = $$\frac{αV}{3}$$
αL = $$\frac{26.67}{3}$$ × 10-6
αL = 8.89 × 10-6/°C

Question 6.
A balloon partially filled with the gas volume 30 m3 at on surface of the earth where pressure is 76 cm of Hg and temperature is 27°C. What will be the increase in the volume of the gas balloon when it rises to a height where the temperature becomes (-54°C) and pressure become 7.6 cm of Hg.
Solution:
Given, P1 = 76 cm Hg, P2 = 7.6 cm of Hg
V1 = 30 m3, V2 = ?
T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K
T2 = -54 + 273 = 219 K
By gas equation
$$\frac{\mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{V}_{1}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{V}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{2}}$$
$$\mathrm{V}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{V}_{1} \mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{P}_{2}}=\frac{76 \times 30 \times 219}{300 \times 7.6}$$ = 219 m3
So increase in volume of gas = 219 – 30 = 189 m3.

Question 7.
If the area of metal changes by 0.22% when it is heated through 10°C, then calculate the coefficient of superficial expansion.
$$\frac{ΔA}{A}$$ = 0.22% = $$\frac{0.22}{100}$$
Change in temperature ΔT = 10°C
∴ Coefficient of cubical expansion

= 22 × 10-6/°C

Question 8.
Using the ideal gas equation determine the value of universal gas constant. It is given that one gram, molecule of a gas at S.T.P occupies 22.4 litres.
Pressure P = 1.013 × 105 pa
Volume V = 22.4 lit I
= 22.4 × 10-3
Temperature T = 273 K
For one mole of a gas
PV = RT
∴ R = $$\frac{PV}{T}$$

= 8.31 J/mol/K

Question 9.
When a gas filled in a closed vessel is heated through 1°C, its pressure increases by 0.4% what is the initial temperature of the gas?
Initial pressure P1 = P

PT + 0.004PT = PT + P
0.004PT = P
∴ T = $$\frac{1}{0.004}$$
= 250 K
∴ Initial Temperature of the gas = 250 K

Question 10.
A vessel of volume 2000 cm³ contains 0.1 mole of O2 and 0.2 mole of CO2 . If the temperature of the mixture is 300 K then calculate the pressure exerted by it.
n1 = 0.1; n2 = 0.2; R = 8.31 J/mol/K;
Temperature T = 300K; Volume V = 2000 × 10-6
Pressure P = P1 + P2

P = 3.74 × 105 pa

Question 1.
Explain how the loss of heat (or transfer of heat) due to modes of transfer of heat is minimised in a thermos flask.
Transfer of heat is thermos is minimised as under:
(i) By conduction: As in conduction heat can transfer by contact of a material medium. In thermos, the air is evacuated between the walls so heat transfer is stopped by conduction mode.

(ii) By convection: As convection mode also requires material (fluid) medium and there is nothing between the walls of thermos so heat does not transfer by connection mode.

(iii) By Radiation: As Ag polish is coated opaque on inner and outer walls of thermos radiation obeys the laws of refraction and reflection so no refraction takes place through opaque wall.
Reflection of outer radiation goes outside of the inner wall goes inside. So the transfer of heat is minimised by polishing.

Question 2.
Explain linear expansion in Solids.
When a body is heated or cooled, the length of the body changes due to change in its temperature. Then the expansion is said to be linear or longitudinal expansion.

The ratio of increase in length of the body per degree rise in temperature to its unit length is called as the coefficient of linear expansion. The SI unit of Coefficient of Linear expansion is K-1. The value of coefficient of linear expansion is different for different materials.

The equation relating the change in length and the change in temperature of a body is given below:
$$\frac{ΔL}{L_0}$$ = αLΔT
ΔL – Change in length (Final length – Original length)
L0 – Original length
ΔT – Change in temperature (Final temperature – Initial temperature)
αL – Coefficient of linear expansion.

Question 3.
Write a note on superficial expansion.
If there is an increase in the area of a solid object due to heating, then the expansion is called superficial or areal expansion.

Superficial expansion is determined in terms of coefficient of superficial expansion. The ratio of increase in area of the body per degree rise in temperature to its unit area is called as coefficient of superficial expansion. Coefficient of superficial expansion is different for different materials. The SI unit of Coefficient of superficial expansion is K-1.

The equation relating to the change in area and the change in temperature is given below:

$$\frac{ΔA}{A_0}$$ = αAΔT
ΔA – Change in area (Final area – Original area)
A0 – Original area
ΔT – Change in temperature (Final temperature – Initial temperature)
αA – Coefficient of superficial expansion.

Question 4.
What do you know about cubical expansion?
If there is an increase in the volume of a solid body due to heating, then the expansion is called cubical or volumetric expansion. As in the cases of linear and areal expansion, cubical expansion is also expressed in terms of coefficient of cubical expansion. The ratio of increase in volume of the body ‘ per degree rise in temperature to its unit volume is called as coefficient of cubical expansion. This is also measured in K-1.

The equation relating to the change in volume and the change in temperature is given below:
$$\frac{ΔV}{V_0}$$ = αVΔT
ΔV – Change in volume (Final volume – Original volume)
V0 – Original volume
ΔT – Change in temperature (Final temperature – Initial temperature)
αV – Coefficient of cubical expansion.

IX. Hot Questions.

Question 1.
At what common temperature a block of wood metal appear equally cold or hot when touched?
A body appears hot when touched if heat flows from the body to our hand and vice – versa. If there is no flow of heat across the body and hand, the body can not be identified while it is hot or cold as bodies are in thermal equilibrium with our body. So both block of wood and metal must have the temperature of our body i.e., 37°C.

Question 2.
At room temperature water does not sublimate from ice to steam. Give reason.
The critical temperature of the water is much above room temperature.

Question 3.
Good conductors of heat are also good conductors of electricity and vice versa why?
It is because of the movement of electrons present in the materials.

Question 4.
When does the Charle’s law fail?
By Charle’s law at constant pressure
V ∝ T or T ∝ V
At T = 0 K volume must be zero but it is impossible, at low-temperature gases does not obey the characterise of the ideal gas. As the molecules come closer and force of attraction and repulsion takes place.
