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 smoke particles are nucleating sites on which the water can condense

Collins, p.116

 p₁/T₁=p₂/T₂

3/293= p₂/328

(3/293)x328=p₂

3.36=p₂

p₂=3.36bar

a.              If we cool the gas in a rigid, sealed tin can, what happens to the pressure inside the can? (1 mark)

The pressure decreases

b.             Explain your answer to part a. by using the Kinetic Theory (4 marks)

·         The particles will have less energy

·         Therefore less average kinetic energy

·         Which means that the pressure will decrease

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

·         5.17 describe the qualitative relationship between pressure and Kelvin temperature for a gas in a sealed container

Instructions

·         Launch the application on this website: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties

·         Put 5 pumps of gas in

·         Set volume as the Constant Parameter

·         Heat to 1000K

·         Watch what happens to the Pressure

 

Conclusion

·         If you increase the temperature, you increase the pressure

·         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)

·         5.16 understand that the Kelvin temperature of the gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules

1.       Volume of the container    2.They have more kinetic energy so the pressure increases         3.no because the graph is curved       4.Yes, because it is a straight line graph                  5. Because the speed of the particles vary and the speed of the particles aren’t the same

· Use particle theory to explain why the gas in the balloon contracts

Explanation
· The temperature of the gas inside the balloon decreases so the average speed of the particles decreases
· Consequently the gas particles collide with the walls of the balloon with less force and less collisions per second
· Because the walls of the container are flexible, the volume decreases

· 5.14 describe the Kelvin scale of temperature and be able to convert between the Kelvin and Celsius scales

Converting Centigrade to Kelvin
TK = ToC + 273

Converting Kelvin to Centigrade
ToC = TK - 273

TK = Temperature in Kelvin [K]

ToC = Temperature in Degrees Centigrade [oC]

1. absolute zero is when there is no more heat to be taken out.
therefore the particles have no energy to move around.
