Problem 71GP
A rigid sphere has a valve that can be opened or closed. The sphere with the valve open is placed in boiling water in a room where the air pressure is 1.0 atm. After a long period of time has elapsed, the valve is closed. What will be the pressure inside the sphere if it is then placed in (a) a mixture of ice and water and (b) an insulated box filled with dry ice, which is at −78.5°C?
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 71GPA rigid sphere has a valve that can be opened or closed. The sphere with the valve open is placed in boiling water in a room where the air pressure is 1.0 atm. After a long period of time has elapsed, the valve is closed.

Problem 2CQ If you launch a projectile upward with a high enough speed, its kinetic energy is sufficient to allow it to escape the earth’s gravity—it will go up and not come back down. Given enough time, hydrogen and helium gas atoms in the earth’s atmosphere will escape, so these elements are not present in our atmosphere. Explain why hydrogen and helium atoms have the necessary speed to escape but why other elements, such as oxygen and nitrogen, do not.

Problem 3P You may have noticed that latex helium balloons tend to shrink rather quickly; a balloon filled with air lasts a lot longer. Balloons shrink because gas diffuses out of them. The rate of diffusion is faster for smaller particles and for particles of higher speed. Diffusion is also faster when there is a large difference in concentration between two sides of a membrane. Given these facts, explain why an air-filled balloon lasts longer than a helium balloon.

Problem 60P If you lie on the ground at night with no cover, you get cold rather quickly. Much of this is due to energy loss by radiation. At night in a dry climate, the temperature of the sky can drop to -40°C. If you are lying on the ground with thin clothing that provides little insulation, the surface temperature of your skin and clothes will be about 30°C.
