6.02 × 10 23 atoms 1 mol 23 N= (21.6 g) = 4.82 × 10 atoms 1 mol 27 g
16.6. Solve: The volume of the copper cube is 8.0 × 10−6 m3 and its mass is M = ρV = (8920 kg/m3)(8.0 × 10−6 m3) = 0.07136 kg = 71.36 g Because the atomic mass number of Cu is 64, one mole of Cu has a mass of 64 g. The number of moles in the cube is
1 mol n= (71.36 g) = 1.12 mol 64 g
16.7. Solve: (a) The number density is defined as N V , where N is the number of particles occupying a volume V. Because Al has a mass density of 2700 kg/m3, a volume of 1 m3 has a mass of 2700 kg. We also know that the molar mass of Al is 27 g/mol or 0.027 kg/mol. So, the number of moles in a mass of 2700 kg is
1 mol 5 n = (2700 kg) = 1.00 × 10 mol 0.027 kg The number of Al atoms in 1.00 × 105 mols is
(

N = nN A = 1.00 × 10 5 mol (6.02 × 10 23 atoms mol) = 6.02 × 10 28 atoms
Thus, the number density is N 6.02 × 10 28 atoms = = 6.02 × 10 28 atoms m 3 V 1 m3 (b) Pb has a mass of 11,300 kg in a volume of 1 m3 . Since the atomic mass number of Pb is 207, the number of moles in 11,300 kg is
1 mole n = (11,300 kg) 0.207 kg The number of Pb atoms is thus N = nNA, and hence the number density is

16.11. Solve: The lowest temperature is TF = 95 TC + 32° ⇒ −127° = 95 TC + 32° ⇒ TC = −88°C ⇒ Tk = ( −88.3 + 273) K = 185 K In the same way, the highest temperature is 136° = 95 TC + 32° ⇒ TC = 58°C = 331 K
16.12. Solve: Let TF = TC = T: TF = 95 TC + 32° ⇒ T = 95 T + 32° ⇒ T = −40° That is, the Fahrenheit and the Celsius scales give the same numerical value at −40°.
16.13. Model: A temperature scale is a linear scale.
Solve: (a) We need a conversion formula for °C to °Z, analogous to the conversion of °C to °F. Since temperature scales are linear, TC = aTZ + b, where a and b are constants to be determined. We know the boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 0°Z and –196°C. Similarly, the melting point of steel is 1000°Z and 1538°C. Thus
−196 = 0 a + b 1538 = 1000 a + b From the first, b = –196°. Then from the second, a = (1538 + 196)/1000 = 1734/1000. Thus the conversion is TC = (1734/1000)TZ – 196°. Since the boiling point of water is TC = 100°C, its temperature in °Z is 1000 TZ = (100° + 196°) = 171°Z 1734 (b) A temperature TZ = 500°Z is 1734 TC = 500° − 196° = 671°C = 944 K 1000
16.14. Model: We assume that the absolute temperature in this problem is doubled.
Solve: Since 10°C = 283 K, when the absolute temperature of the sample is doubled, the temperature becomes 2 × 283 K = 566 K. On the Celsius scale, the new temperature of the sample is 566 K – 273 = 293°C.
16.15. Solve: (a) The triple point of water is T = 0.01°C and p = 0.006 atm. Thus TF = 95 TC + 32° =
9 5
(0.01) + 32 = 32.02°F
1.013 × 10 5 Pa = 608 Pa 1 atm (b) The triple point of carbon dioxide is T = –56°C and p = 5 atm. Thus TF = 95 TC + 32° = 95 ( −56°) + 32° = −68.8°F p = 0.006 atm ×
1.013 × 10 5 Pa 5 p = 5.0 atm = (5.0 atm) = 5.06 × 10 Pa 1 atm
16.16. Visualize: Please refer to the phase diagram for water in Figure 16.04. Solve: (a) Yes. Because the water-ice phase boundary has a negative slope down to the triple point and the solid-gas phase boundary has a positive slope up to the triple point, ice does not exist for temperatures greater than the triple point. (b) No. The positive slope of the solid-vapor boundary begins at the point (0 K, 0 atm). This means that as long as the pressure is low enough, water can always exist in the vapor phase.
16.17. Solve: The pressure due to seawater at a depth d is p = p0 + ρsea water gd = 1.013 × 10 5 Pa + (1030 kg m 3 )(9.8 m s 2 )(100 m ) = 1.1107 × 10 6 Pa 11 atm From Figure 16.04, we see that the freezing temperature of water at p = 11 atm is below 0°C and the boiling temperature is above 100°C. This is because the solid-liquid transition line has a negative slope, but the liquid-gas transition line has a positive slope.
16.18. Solve: (a) 500 Pa corresponds to a pressure of 500 Pa ×
1 atm = 0.005 atm 1.013 × 10 5 Pa
This pressure and temperature (−0.01°C) are to the left and below the triple point in Figure 16.04. The sample is only barely in the vapor phase. Increasing p first changes the phase from a gas to a solid, and then, at a pressure of slightly greater than 1 atm, from a solid to a liquid because of the negative slope of the solid-liquid transition line. (b) At 0.03°C warmer, that is, at +0.02°C, increasing the pressure changes the phase from gas to liquid. The sample never enters the solid phase.

V1 = V0
T1 746 K = V0 = 2V0 373 K T0

1.0 mole of water has a mass of 18 g or 0.018 kg. Because the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, the volume of 1.0 mole of water is 1.8 × 10 −5 m 3 . Thus, the ratio of the volume of steam at 300°C to the volume of water (both at 1.0 atm pressure) is 0.047 m 3 1.8 × 10 −5 m 3 = 2610 .

16.47. Model: We assume that the volume of the tire and that of the air in the tire is constant.
Solve: A gauge pressure of 30 psi corresponds to an absolute pressure of (30 psi) + (14.7 psi) = 44.7 psi. Using the before-and-after relationship of an ideal gas for an isochoric (constant volume) process,
p1 p2 T 273 + 45 = ⇒ p2 = 2 p1 = (44.7 psi) = 49.4 psi 273 + 15 T1 T2 T1 Your tire gauge will read a gauge pressure pg = 49.4 psi − 14.7 psi = 34.7 psi.

1.013 × 10 5 Pa (10 −3 m 3 ) p2 V2 = 0.0327 mol = RT2 (8.31 J mol K)(373 K)
When heated, the pressure will rise as the number of moles remains n1. When opened, the pressure drops to 1 atm as gas escapes. Thus, the number of moles of air that escape as the container is opened is n1 – n2 = 0.0416 mol – 0.0327 mol = 0.0089 mol.
16.49. Model: The gas’s pressure does not change, so this is an isobaric process. Solve:
The triple point of water is 0.01°C or 273.16 K, so T1 = 273.16 K. Because the pressure is a constant,

This means the volume of the chamber can be considered constant. Hence,

16.51. Model: The gas can be treated as an ideal gas. Visualize:
Solve: (a) Because the liquid on the right is below that on the left, the “height” of the mercury column is h = −25 cm = −0.25 m. Thus, the gas pressure in the cell is pgas = 1 atm + ρgh = 101,300 Pa + (13,600 kg/m3)(9.8 m/s2)(−0.25 m) = 68,000 Pa We can find the number of atoms from the version of the ideal-gas law that reads pV = NkBT (Equation 16.12):

1.0 × 10 5 Pa (2.0 m 3 ) p1V1 = 301 K = nR (80 mol)(8.31 J mol K)
Because points 1 and 2 lie on the isotherm, T2 = T1 = 301 K. The temperature of the isothermal process is 301 K. (b) The straight-line process 1 → 2 can be represented by the equation
p = (3 − V ) × 10 5 where V is in m3 and p is in Pa. We can use the ideal gas law to find that the temperature along the line varies as

16.59. Model: Assume the gas is an ideal gas. Visualize: Please refer to Figure P16.59. Solve: (a) We can find the temperatures directly from the ideal-gas law after we convert all quantities to SI units:

(b) T2 = T1, so this is an isothermal process. (c) A constant volume process has V3 = V2. Because p1 = 3p2, restoring the pressure to its original value means that p3 = 3p2. From the ideal gas law,
p V p3V3 pV = 2 2 ⇒ T3 = 3 3 T2 = 3 × 1 × T2 = 3 × 366 K = 1098 K = 825°C T3 T2 p2 V2

16.61. Model: Assume CO2 gas is an ideal gas. Solve: (a) The molar mass for CO2 is Mmol = 44 g/mol, so a 10 g piece of dry ice is 0.2273 mol. This becomes 0.227 mol of gas at 0°C. With V1 = 10,000 cm3 = 0.010 m3 and T1 = 0°C = 273 K, the pressure is p1 =

Solve: (a) The gas starts at pressure p1 = 2.0 atm, temperature T1 = 127°C = (127 + 273) K = 400 K and volume V1. It is first compressed at a constant temperature T2 = T1 until V2 = 12 V1 and the pressure is p2 . It is then further compressed at constant pressure p3 = p2 until V3 = 12 V2. From the ideal-gas law,
p2 V2 pV V T V = 1 1 ⇒ p2 = p1 1 2 = (2.0 atm) 1 1 × 1 = 4.0 atm T2 T1 V2 T1 2 V1 Note that T2 = T1 = 400 K. Using the ideal gas law once again, 1 p3V3 V p pV V = 2 2 ⇒ T3 = T2 3 3 = ( 400 K ) 2 2 × 1 = 200 K = −73°C T3 T2 V2 p2 V2

V1 =
nRT1 (0.1786 mol)(8.31 J mol K )(293 K ) = = 1.430 × 10 −3 m 3 = 1430 cm 3 3.0 atm × 101,300 Pa atm p1
An isobaric expansion until the volume triples results in V2 = 3V1 = 4290 cm3. (b) After the expansion,
p2 V2 pV p V = 1 1 ⇒ T2 = 2 2 T1 = 1 × 3 × T1 = 3T1 = 879 K = 606°C T2 T1 p1 V1 (c) A constant volume decrease at V3 = V2 = 4290 cm3 back to T3 = T1 = 13 T2 results in the following:

16.69. Model: Assume that the compressed air is an ideal gas. Visualize: Please refer to Figure CP16.69. Solve: (a) Because the piston is floating in equilibrium, Fnet = (p 1 – patmos)A – w = 0 N
( )
where the piston’s cross-sectional area A = π r 2 = π (0.050 m ) = 7.854 × 10 −3 m 2 and the piston’s weight w = (50 kg)(9.8) = 490 N. Thus, w 490 N p1 = + patmos = + 1.013 × 10 5 Pa = 1.637 × 105 Pa A 7.854 × 10 −3 m 2 Using the ideal-gas equation p1V1 = nRT1, 2
(1.637 × 10 5 Pa)Ah1 = (0.12 mol)(8.31 J / mol K)[(273 + 30) K] With the value of A given above, this equation yields h1 = 0.235 m = 23.5 cm. (b) When the temperature is increased from T1 = 303 K to T2 = (303 + 100) K = 403 K, the volume changes from V1 = Ah1 to V2 = Ah2 at a constant pressure p2 = p1. From the before-and-after relationship of the ideal gas: p1 ( Ah1 ) p2 ( Ah2 ) = T1 T2
⇒ h2 =
p1 T2 403 K h1 = (1) (0.235 m) = 0.313 m = 31.3 cm 303 K p2 T1
Thus, the piston moves h2 – h1 = 7.8 cm.
16.70. Model: The air in the closed section of the U-tube is an ideal gas. Visualize: Please refer to Figure CP16.70. The length of the tube is l = 1.0 m and its cross-section area is A. Solve: Initially, the pressure of the air in the tube is p1 = patmos and its volume is V1 = Al. After the mercury is poured in, compressing the air, the air-pressure force supports the weight of the mercury. Thus the compressed pressure equals the pressure at the bottom of the column: p2 = patmos + ρgL. The volume of the compressed air is V2 = A(l – L). Because the mercury is poured in slowly, we will assume that the gas remains in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air, so T2 = T1. In an isothermal process, pressure and volume are related by p1V1 = patmos Al = p2 V2 = ( patmos + ρgL) A(l − L) Canceling the A, multiplying through, and solving for L gives
L=l−

16.71. Model: The air in the diving bell is an ideal gas. Visualize:
Solve: (a) Initially p1 = p0 (atmospheric pressure), V1 = AL, and T1 = 293 K. When the diving bell is submerged to d = 100 m at the bottom edge, the water comes up height h inside. The volume is V2 = A(L – h) and the temperature is T2 = 283 K. Like a barometer, the pressure at points a and b must be the same. Thus p2 + ρgh = p0 + ρgd, or p2 = p0 + ρg(d – h). Using the before and after relationship of an ideal gas,
p AL [ p0 + ρg( d − h)] A( L − h) p1V1 p2 V2 = ⇒ 0 = 293 K 283 K T1 T2 Multiplying this out gives the following quadratic equation for h:
283 ρgh 2 − [ p0 + ρg( d + L)]h + 1 − p0 L + ρgLd = 0 293 Inserting the known values (using ρ = 1030 kg/m3 for seawater) and dividing by ρg gives
h 2 − 113.04h + 301.03 = 0 ⇒ h = 110.3 m or 2.73 m The first solution is not physically meaningful, so the water rises to height h = 2.73 m. (b) To expel all the water, the air pressure inside the bell must be increased to match the water pressure at the bottom edge of the bell, d = 100 m. The necessary pressure is p = p0 + ρgd = 101,300 Pa + (1030 kg/m3)(9.8 m/s2)(100 m) = 1111 kPa = 10.96 atm
16.72. Model: Assume the trapped air to be an ideal gas. Visualize:
Initially, as the pipe is touched to the water surface and the gas inside is thus closed off from the air, the pressure p1 = patmos = 1 atm and the volume is V1 = L1A, where A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe. By pushing the pipe in slowly, the gas temperature in the pipe remains the same as the water temperature. Thus, this is an isothermal compression of the gas with T2 = T1. Solve: From the ideal gas law,
p2 V2 = p1V1 ⇒ p2 L2 A = p1 L1 A ⇒ p2 L2 = patmos L1 ⇒ p2 = patmos ( L1 L2 ) As the pipe is pushed down, the increasing water pressure pushes water up into the pipe, compressing the air. In equilibrium, the pressure at points a and b, along a horizontal line, must be equal. (This is like the barometer. If the pressures at a and b weren’t equal, the pressure difference would cause the liquid level in the pipe to move up or down.) The pressure at point a is just the gas pressure inside the pipe: pa = p2. The pressure at point b is the pressure at depth L2 in water: pb = patmos+ ρgL2. Equating these gives p2 = patmos + ρgL2 Substituting the expression for p2 from the ideal-gas equation above, the pressure equation becomes
patmos L1 = patmos + ρgL2 ⇒ ρgL22 + patmos L2 − patmos L1 = 0 L2 This is a quadratic equation for L2 with solutions
L2 =

Length has to be a positive quantity, so the one physically acceptable solution is
L2 =

(101,300 Pa )2 + 4(1000 kg m 3 )(9.8 m s 2 )(101, 300 Pa )(3.0 m) 2(1000 kg m 3 )(9.8 m s 2 )

16.73. Model: The gas in the cylinder is assumed to be an ideal gas. Visualize: Please refer to Figure CP16.73. Solve: The gas at T1 = 20°C = 293 K has a pressure p1 = 1 atm and a volume V1 = AL0. (The pressure has to be 1 atm to balance the external force of the air on the piston.) At a temperature T2 = 100°C = 373 K, its volume becomes V2 = A(L0 + ∆x) and its pressure increases to
p2 = p1 +
F k∆x = p1 + A A
where F = k∆x is the spring force on the piston. Using the before-and-after relationship of an ideal-gas equation,
p L A ( p1 + k∆x A)( L0 + ∆x ) A p1V1 p2 V2 = ⇒ 1 0 = T1 T2 T1 T2 ⇒
T2 ( p1 + k∆x A)( L0 + ∆x ) ∆x k∆x = = 1 + 1 + T1 p1 L0 p1 A L0
L0 can be obtained from the ideal-gas law as follows:
L0 =
V1 nRT1 1 (0.004 mol)(8.31 J mol K )(293 K ) = = 0.0961 m = 9.61 cm = A p1 A 1.013 × 10 5 Pa (10 × 10 −4 m 2 )

Substituting this value of L0 and the values for p1, T1, T2, and k, the above equation can be simplified to
154.02 ∆x 2 + 25.210 ∆x − 0.2730 = 0 ⇒ ∆x = 0.0102 m = 1.02 cm The spring is compressed by 1.02 cm.
16.74. Model: The gas in containers A and B is assumed to be an ideal gas. Visualize: Please refer to Figure CP16.74. Solve: (a) The number of moles of gas in containers A and B can be expressed as follows:
nA =
(
)
1.0 × 10 5 Pa VA pA VA V = = 333.3 A RTA R(300 K ) R
nB =
(
)
5.0 × 10 5 Pa ( 4VA ) pBVB V = 5000 A = RTB R( 400 K ) R
where nA and nB are expressed in moles. Let nA′ and nB′ be the number of moles after the valve is opened. Since the total number of moles is the same,
nA + nB = 5333.3
VA = nA′ + nB′ R
The pressure is now the same in both containers:
pA′ = ⇒ nA′ = nB′
nA′ RTA n ′ RT = pB′ = B B VA VB
TB VA 400 K VA = nB′ ⇒ 3nA′ = nB′ 300 K 4VA TA VB
Solving the above equations,
5333.3
V VA V = nA′ + 3nA′ = 4nA′ ⇒ nA′ = 1333.3 A ⇒ nB′ = 4000 A R R R
The new pressure is
pA′ = pB′ =
nA′ RTA 1333.3 VA = RTA = 4.0 × 10 5 Pa VA VA R nB′ RTB 4000 VA = RTB = 4.0 × 10 5 Pa VB VB R
Gas flows from B to A until the pressure is 4.0 × 10 5 Pa. (b) The change is irreversible because opening the valve is like breaking a membrane. It is not a quasi-static process.
