200g of water at 90°C is mixed with 100g of water at 30°C. What is the final temperature?

A.

50oC

B.

60oC

C.

70oC

D.

80oC

Correct answer is C

Heat lost = heat gained

200 x c x (90 - θ)= 100× c × (θ30)

Dividing through by 100c, we have

2(90θ) = (θ30)

simplifying, we have

θ = 70°

When the volume of a given mass of gas is halved and its temperature doubled, the pressure

A.

remains constant

B.

increases by a factor of 4

C.

increases by a factor of 3

D.

decreases by a factor of 4

Correct answer is B

P1V1T1 = P2V2T2

V1 = 2V2 and T2 = 2T1

P1×2V2T1 = P2×V22T1


P2 = 4P1

A metal rod 800mm long is heated from 10oC to 95oC. If it expands by 1.36mm, the linear expansivity of the metal is

A.

2.0 x 102K-1

B.

2.0 x 102K-1

C.

5.0 x 10-3K-1

D.

2.0 x 10-5K-1

Correct answer is D

a = 1.36800×(9510)

= 2.0 x 10-5K-1
