HARD

An air bubble starts rising from the bottom of a lake. Its diameter is 3.6 mm at the bottom and 4 mm at the surface. The depth of the lake is 2.5 m and the temperature at the surface is 40°C. What is the temperature at the bottom of the lake? Assume that the variation of density of water with depth is negligible. Atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of Hg and g=980 cm s2.

HARD
Show that the volume thermal expansion coefficient for an ideal gas at constant pressure is 1T.
HARD

The volume of a certain mass of gas at constant pressure increases from 1 litre to 1.128 litre due to an increase of temperature from 0°C to 35°C. From these data, find the value of absolute zero.

EASY

The volume occupied by a certain mass of gas at 27°C and 740 mm of mercury pressure is 400 cm3. If the temperature be changed to 0°C and pressure to 760 mm of mercury, what would be the volume of the gas?

HARD

An air bubble gradually rises from a depth of 10 m in a lake where the temperature is 10°C to the surface where the temperature is 25°C. Compare the radii of the bubble in the two places. Atmospheric pressure =75 cm of Hg and density of mercury =13.6 g cm3.

MEDIUM
An empty bottle is corked when the air inside it is at 10°C and the barometer reads 0.75 m of Hg. If the cork blows out when the pressure inside the bottle exceeds the atmospheric pressure by 1.00 m of Hg, calculate the temperature at which the bottle must be heated to blow the cork. Assume that the volume of the bottle remains constant when heated.

The volume of a gas is doubled by changing its temperature at constant pressure. The initial temperature of the gas was 13°C. Calculate the final temperature.

HARD

A vessel of volume V=0.03 m3 contains an ideal gas at 0°C. After a portion has escaped from the vessel, the pressure decreases by P=0.78 atmosphere (temperature remaining constant). Find the mass of the gas escaped. The density under normal conditions ρ0=1.3 kg m3.
