Accepted Answer

$$7.9\ \mathrm{g/L}$$

Question 8

Which of the following statements about thermal expansion is correct?

Accepted Answer

Most materials expand when heated due to increased atomic vibrations.

Question 9

What is the volume occupied by $$1.00$$ mole of an ideal gas at a pressure of $$4.50 	imes 10^3$\ \mathrm{Pa}$$ and a temperature of $$-30^\circ\mathrm{C} on $$planet Zephyria? ($$R = 8.314\ \mathrm{J/(mol\cdot K)})$$

Accepted Answer

$$5.7\ \mathrm{m^3$}$$

Question 10

Which of the following best describes the difference between evaporation and condensation?

Accepted Answer

Evaporation is the process where molecules escape from the liquid phase to the gas phase, while condensation is the reverse process.

Question 11

A cube of ice at $$-8.5^\circ\mathrm{C} is $$placed in an $$85\ \mathrm{g}$$ aluminum calorimeter with $$310\ \mathrm{g} of $$water at $$20.0^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$The final temperature is $$17.0^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is the mass of the ice cube?

Accepted Answer

$$24\ \mathrm{g}$$

Question 12

Which of the following is the correct expression for the maximum efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between two temperatures $$T_H$$ and $$T_C (in $$Kelvin)?

Accepted Answer

$$e_{max} = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H}$$

Question 16

A heat engine operates between $$530^\circ\mathrm{C}$$ and $$345^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is its maximum possible efficiency?

Accepted Answer

$$0.282$$

Question 17

Which of the following is the correct definition of specific gravity?

Accepted Answer

The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water at $$4^\circ\mathrm{C}.$$

Question 18

Which of the following statements about the first law of thermodynamics is correct?

Accepted Answer

The change in internal energy of a system equals the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system.
