5.18 Gay-lussac's law

· 5.18 use the relationship between the pressure and Kelvin temperature of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume:

p1 / T1 = p2 / T2

p1 = Pressure at the beginning [kPa, bar or atm ]

T1 = Absolute temperature at the beginning [K]

p2 = Pressure at the end [kPa, bar or atm]

T2 = Absolute temperature at the end [K]

(Note: the units of temperature must be Kelvin, not oC! The units of pressure can be any, as long as the same at the beginning and the end)

Why do the eggs get sucked into the bottles?!

Explanation
· The burning paper in the bottle heats the air in the bottle
· When the egg gets placed on top, the oxygen supply in the bottle is rapidly depleted and the paper goes out
· The bottle is sealed by the egg and now has a constant volume of gas inside
· The hot gas in the bottle now starts to cool which reduces the pressure inside the bottle
· The pressure outside the bottle remains unchanged and so there is now an unbalanced force on the egg which accelerates the egg into the bottle

Cloud formation
· Place a little water in the bottom of a 1½ litre plastic bottle
· Squeeze a few times
· Introduce a small amount of smoke
· Squeeze and release several times
· When you squeeze, the cloud disappears; when you release, the cloud reforms

Explanation
· When the pressure increases the temperature increases and vica versa
· The "cloud" is water droplets - liquid water
· When you squeeze the bottle the temperature increases and the droplets turn into water vapour
· The smoke particles are nucleating sites on which the water can condense

2. Explain what is meant by Brownian Motion of smoke particles in air and how it provides evidence for air particles - Incessant motion of matter due to thermal energy.
3. What change would you expect to see in the movement of the smoke particles if the air was cooled down? Why? - Slower movement because the warmer the temperature the more movement.

Questions
· Why does the needle on the meter move when gas particles are introduced into the box?
· What does the meter measure?

Answers
· The gas particles collide with all of the walls of the container. The wall on the right moves outwards and moves the needle.
· Pressure. The gas particles colliding with the walls makes a force on the walls. The walls have a surface area so the quantity measured is pressure, p=F/A.

1a
· Particles in a solid are strongly bonded to each other so their particles are held in a fixed, regular pattern and can not move
· The bonds between particles in liquids and gases are weaker and therefore their particles can move relative to each other

1b
· The particles in solids and liquids are closely packed and they are therefore incompressible
· The particles in a gas are very widely spaced and the forces between them are very weak so they can spread out to fill their container
[cid:image005.png@01CC9575.884BC100]

Boiling
· Boiling occurs when you heat a liquid until the average energy of the particles is great enough for them to turn into a gas
· Boiling occurs at a fixed temperature called the boiling point
· Boiling occurs throughout a liquid
· It is a fast process
· [cid:image006.png@01CC9575.884BC100]

Evaporation
· Evaporation occurs when a liquid is left open to the air
· Only particles at the surface of the liquid that have enough energy can escape the liquid into the air
· Evaporation occurs for a range of temperatures; high temperatures increase evaporation, low temperatures decrease evaporation
· Evaporation only occurs from the surface of a liquid
· It is a slower process
· Because it removes the most energetic particles from a liquid the average energy of the remaining particles is decreased and the liquid cools down

Collins, p.107

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC97B9.D5F15A50]

Notes:

ρfresh water = 1,000kg/m3

g = 10N/kg

1,000mbar = 1 bar = 100,000Pa


5. ∆p = h × ρ × g

250,000 - 100,000 = h x 1,000 x 10

h = 15m


· If he was diving in sea water then the depth would be slightly less. Why? From the equation...
· ∆p = same, g = same, ρ = less, therefore h must be more


· ρ = 0.42g/cm3 = 420kg/m3

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = 50 x 420 x 1.4

∆p =29,400Pa or 29kPa

1,000mbar = 1 bar = 100,000Pa

1,600mbar = 1.6 bar = 160,000Pa

So total pressure = 29,000+160,000 = 189,000Pa

5.6 Demo - squirting water column

Image001

·         
The bottom hole squirts water the furthest
·         Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure
·         Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large
·         So ∆p = large

5.6

·         
5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

 

        pressure difference = height × density × g

                               ∆p = h × ρ × g

 

 

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)

h = height of the fluid (m)

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3)

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

Your finger pushes on the pin and the pin pushes back on your finger
·         N3L tells us that all these two forces are equal in size
·         The pin pushes on the wall and the wall pushes back on the pin
·         N3L tells us that all these two forces are also equal in size
·         If the surface area is large then the force is spread over a large area and the pressure is low
·         If the surface area is small then the force is spread over a small area and the pressure is high
·         You would like the pressure on your finger to be low and the pressure on the wall to be high
·         The other way round is painful!
