A mass of gas at 7oC and 70cm of mercury has a volume of 1200cm3. Determine its volume at 27oC and pressure of 75cm of mercury.

A.

1200cm3

B.

1378cm3

C.

4320cm3

D.

4629cm3

Correct answer is A

\(\frac{V_1P_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{V_2P_2}{T_2}\)

\(\frac{70 \times 1200}{7 \times 273}\) = \(\frac{75 \times V_2}{27 + 273}\)

V2 = 1200cm3

A column of air 10.0cm long is trapped in a tube at 27oC. What is the length of the volume at 100oC?

A.

12.4cm

B.

13.7cm

C.

18.5cm

D.

37.0cm

Correct answer is A

\(\frac{V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{T_2}\)

\(\frac{10\times A}{27 + 273}\) = \(\frac{L\times A}{100 + 273}\)

L = 12.43cm

The pressure on the gas of constant gas thermometer at the ice point is 325mm of mercury and at the steam point is 875mm of mercury. Find the temperature when the pressure of the gas is 190mm of mercury

A.

30k

B.

243k

C.

300k

D.

3003k

Correct answer is B

100\(\theta\) .... 875mm

0\(\theta\) ....325mm

\(\theta\) .... 190mm

\(\frac{0 - \theta}{100 - \theta}\) = \(\frac{325 - 190}{875 - 190}\)


\(\theta\) = -25oC

= 243k

A piece of wood of mass 40g and uniform cross-sectional area of 2cm2 floats upright in water. The length of the wood immersed is

A.

30cm

B.

40cm

C.

20cm

D.

2cm

Correct answer is C

Mw displaced = 40g

density = \(\frac{mass}{\text{area x height}}\)

I = \(\frac{40}{2\times h}\)

h = 20cm
