[SSM] The specific heat of aluminum is more than twice the specific
heat of copper. A block of copper and a block of aluminum have the same mass
and temperature (20ºC). The blocks are simultaneously dropped into a single
calorimeter containing water at 40ºC. Which statement is true when thermal
equilibrium is reached? (a) The aluminum block is at a higher temperature than
the copper block. (b) The aluminum block has absorbed less energy than the
copper block. (c) The aluminum block has absorbed more energy than the copper
block. (d) Both (a) and (c) are correct statements.
Picture the Problem We can use the relationship Q = mcΔT to relate the amount
of energy absorbed by the aluminum and copper blocks to their masses, specific
heats, and temperature changes.
Express the energy absorbed by the
aluminum block:
QAl = mAlcAl ΔT

A block of copper is in a pot of boiling water and has a temperature of
100°C. The block is removed from the boiling water and immediately placed in
an insulated container which has a quantity of water that has a temperature of
20°C and has the same mass as the block of copper. (The heat capacity of the
insulated container is negligible.) The final temperature will be closest to
(a) 40°C, (b) 60°C, (c) 80°C.
Determine the Concept We can use the relationship Q = mcΔT to relate the
temperature changes of the block of copper and the boiling water to their masses,
specific heats, and the amount of heat supplied to or absorbed by each.
Relate the heat supplied by the block
of copper to its specific heat, mass,
and temperature change as it cools to
its equilibrium temperature:
ΔQCu = mCu cCu ΔTCu
Relate the heat absorbed by the
water to its specific heat, mass, and
temperature change as it warms to its
equilibrium temperature:
ΔQH2O = m H2O cH2O ΔTH2O
= mCu cCu (Tequil − 100°C )
= m H2O cH2O (Tequil − 20°C )
Because thermal energy is conserved in this mixing process:
ΔQ = ΔQCu + ΔQH2O = 0
or
mCu cCu (Tequil − 100°C ) + mH2O cH2O (Tequil − 20°C ) = 0
Because the mass of the water is equal to the mass of the block of copper:
cCu (Tequil − 100°C ) + cH2O (Tequil − 20°C ) = 0
Solving for Tequil yields:
Tequil =
(100°C)cCu + (20°C)cH O
2
cCu + cH 2 O
Substitute numerical values (See Table 18-1 for the specific heats of copper and
water.)and evaluate Tequil:
Tequil =
(100°C)(24.5 J/mol ⋅ K ) + (20°C)(75.2 J/mol ⋅ K ) = 40°C
24.5 J/mol ⋅ K + 75.2 J/mol ⋅ K
and (b ) is correct.

You pour both a certain amount of water at 100°C and an equal
amount of water at room temperature (20°C) into an insulated container. The final
temperature of the mixture will be (a) 60°C, (b) less than 60°C, (c) greater than
60°C.
Determine the Concept We can use the relationship Q = mcΔT to relate the
temperature changes of the room temperature water and the boiling water to their
masses, specific heats, and the amount of heat supplied to or absorbed by each.
Relate the heat supplied by the water
to its specific heat, mass, and
temperature change as it cools to its
equilibrium temperature:
ΔQhot H2O = m hot H2O c boiling H2O ΔThot H2O
Relate the heat absorbed by the water
to its specific heat, mass, and
temperature change as it warms to its
equilibrium temperature:
ΔQH2O = m H2O cH2O ΔTH2O
= m hot H2O c hot H2O (Tequil − 100°C )
= m H2O cH2O (Tequil − 20°C )
Because thermal energy is conserved in this mixing process:
ΔQ = ΔQhot H2O + ΔQH2O = 0
or
m hot H2O chot H2O (Tequil − 100°C ) + m H2O cH2O (Tequil − 20°C ) = 0
Because the mass of the boiling water is equal to the mass of the water that is
initially at 20°C and the specific heat of water is independent of its temperature:
Tequil − 100°C + Tequil − 20°C = 0
Solving for Tequil yields:
Tequil = 60°C
and
(a )
is correct.

(b) less than 0°C, (c) 0°C, (d) You cannot tell the final temperature from the data

Joule’s experiment establishing the mechanical equivalence of heat
involved the conversion of mechanical energy into internal energy. Give some
everyday examples in which some of the internal energy of a system is converted
into mechanical energy.
Determine the Concept One example from everyday life is that of a hot gas that
expands and does work−as in the piston of an engine. Another example is the gas
escaping from a can of spray paint. As it escapes, it moves air molecules and, in
the process, does work against atmospheric pressure.

•
Can a gas absorb heat while its internal energy does not change? If so,
give an example. If not, explain why not.
Determine the Concept Yes, if the absorbed heat is converted into mechanical
work. Providing this condition is satisfied, no energy goes into changing the
internal energy of the gas and its temperature will remain constant.
10 •
The equation ΔEint = Q + W is the formal statement of the first law of
thermodynamics. In this equation, the quantities Q and W, respectively, represent
(a) the heat absorbed by the system and the work done by the system, (b) the heat
absorbed by the system and the work done on the system, (c) the heat released by
the system and the work done by the system, (d) the heat released by the system
and the work done on the system.
Determine the Concept According to the first law of thermodynamics, the
change in the internal energy of the system is equal to the heat that enters the
system plus the work done on the system. (b) is correct.
11 •
[SSM] A real gas cools during a free expansion, while an ideal gas
does not cool during a free expansion. Explain the reason for this difference.
Determine the Concept Particles that attract each other have more potential
energy the farther apart they are. In a real gas the molecules exert weak attractive
forces on each other. These forces increase the internal potential energy during an
1778 Chapter 18
expansion. An increase in potential energy means a decrease in kinetic energy,
and a decrease in kinetic energy means a decrease in translational kinetic energy.
Thus, there is a decrease in temperature.
12 •
An ideal gas that has a pressure of 1.0 atm and a temperature of 300 K
is confined to half of an insulated container by a thin partition. The other half of
the container is a vacuum. The partition is punctured and equilibrium is quickly
reestablished. Which of the following is correct? (a) The gas pressure is 0.50 atm
and the temperature of the gas is 150 K. (b) The gas pressure is 1.0 atm and the
temperature of the gas is 150 K. (c) The gas pressure is 0.50 atm and the
temperature of the gas is 300 K. (d) None of the above.
Determine the Concept Because the container is insulated, no energy is
exchanged with the surroundings during the expansion of the gas. Neither is any
work done on or by the gas during this process. Hence, the internal energy of the
gas does not change and we can conclude that the equilibrium temperature will be
the same as the initial temperature. Applying the ideal-gas law for a fixed amount
of gas we see that the pressure at equilibrium must be half an atmosphere. (c )
is correct.
13 •
A gas consists of ions that repel each other. The gas undergoes a free
expansion in which no heat is absorbed or released and no work is done. Does the
temperature of the gas increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain your
answer.
Determine the Concept Particles that repel each other have more potential
energy the closer together they are. The repulsive forces decrease the internal
potential energy during an expansion. A decrease in potential energy means an
increase in kinetic energy, and an increase in kinetic energy means an increase in
translational kinetic energy. Thus, there is an increase in temperature.

Two gas-filled rubber balloons that have equal volumes are located at
the bottom of a dark, cold lake. The temperature of the water decreases with
increasing depth. One balloon rises rapidly and expands adiabatically as it rises.
The other balloon rises more slowly and expands isothermally. The pressure in
each balloon remains equal to the pressure in the water just next to the balloon.
Which balloon has the larger volume when it reaches the surface of the lake?
Explain your answer.
Determine the Concept The balloon that expands isothermally is larger when it
reaches the surface. The balloon that expands adiabatically will be at a lower
temperature than the one that expands isothermally. Because each balloon has the

higher temperature will be bigger. An analytical argument that leads to the same
conclusion is shown below.

A gas changes its state quasi-statically from A to C along the paths
shown in Figure 18-21. The work done by the gas is (a) greatest for path
A→B→C, (b) least for path A→C, (c) greatest for path A→D→C, (d) The same
for all three paths.
Determine the Concept The work done along each of these paths equals the area
under its curve. The area is greatest for the path A→B→C and least for the path
A→D→C. (a ) is correct.
16 •
When an ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic process, (a) no work is done
by the system, (b) no heat is transferred to the system, (c) the internal energy of
the system remains constant, (d) the amount of heat transferred into the system
equals the amount of work done by the system.
Determine the Concept An adiabatic process is, by definition, one for which no
heat enters or leaves the system. (b) is correct.
1780 Chapter 18

•
(a)
When a system can go from state 1 to state 2 by several different processes,
the amount of heat absorbed by the system will be the same for all
processes.
When a system can go from state 1 to state 2 by several different processes,
the work done on the system will be the same for all processes.
When a system can go from state 1 to state 2 by several different processes,
the change in the internal energy of the system will be the same for all
processes.
The internal energy of a given amount of an ideal gas depends only on its
absolute temperature.
A quasi-static process is one in which the system is never far from being in
equilibrium.
For any substance that expands when heated, its Cp is greater than its Cv.
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
(a) False. The amount the internal energy of the system changes along any path
depends only on the temperatures at state 1 and state 2, but because
ΔEint = Qin + Won , Qin depends on Won, which, in turn, depends on the path taken
from state 1 to state 2.
(b) False. The work done on the system depends on the path taken from state 1 to
state 2.
(c) True. The amount the internal energy of the system changes along any path
depends only on the temperatures at state 1 and state 2.
(d) True. For an ideal gas, Eint = 32 nRT . For a ″given amount″ of an ideal gas, n
is constant.
(e) True. This is the definition of a quasi-static process.
(f) True. All materials have values for Cp and Cv for which it is true that Cp is
greater than Cv. For liquids and solids we generally ignore the very small
difference between Cp and Cv .
18 •
The volume of a sample of gas remains constant while its pressure
increases. (a) The internal energy of the system is unchanged. (b) The system
does work. (c) The system absorbs no heat. (d) The change in internal energy
must equal the heat absorbed by the system. (e) None of the above.
Determine the Concept For a constant-volume process, no work is done on or by
the gas. Applying the first law of thermodynamics, we obtain Qin = ΔEint. Because
the temperature must change during such a process, we can conclude that
Heat and the First Law of Thermodynamics
1781
ΔEint ≠ 0 and hence Qin ≠ 0. (d ) is correct.
19 •
When an ideal gas undergoes an isothermal process, (a) no work is
done by the system, (b) no heat is absorbed by the system, (c) the heat absorbed
by the system equals the change in the system’s internal energy, (d) the heat
absorbed by the system equals the work done by the system.
Determine the Concept Because the temperature does not change during an
isothermal process, the change in the internal energy of the gas is zero. Applying
the first law of thermodynamics, we obtain Qin = −Won = Wby the system. Hence
(d ) is correct.

[SSM] An ideal gas in a cylinder is at pressure P and volume V.
During a quasi-static adiabatic process, the gas is compressed until its volume has
decreased to V/2. Then, in a quasi-static isothermal process, the gas is allowed to
expand until its volume again has a value of V. What kind of process will return
the system to its original state? Sketch the cycle on a graph.
1782 Chapter 18
Determine the Concept Adiabatic
processes are steeper than isothermal
processes. During an adiabatic process
the pressure varies as V − γ , whereas
during an isothermal processes the
pressure varies as V −1 . Thus when a
gas expands isothermally, the pressure
doesn’t quite go down as far as the
starting point. Thus the final process
necessary is a constant-volume process
dropping back to the initial pressure.
Heat must be removed from the system
in order for this to occur.

Picture the Problem We can use the given dependence of the pressure on the

During the early stages of designing a modern electric generating
plant, you are in charge of the team of environmental engineers. The new plant is
to be located on the ocean and will use ocean water for cooling. The plant will
produce electrical power at the rate of 1.00 GW. Because the plant will have an
efficiency of one-third (typical of most modern plants), heat will be released to

A small change in the volume of a liquid occurs when heating the
liquid at constant pressure. Use the following data to estimate the contribution this
fractional change makes to the heat capacity of water between 4ºC and 100ºC.
The density of water at 4.00ºC and 1.00 atm pressure is 1.000 g/cm3. The density
of liquid water at 100ºC and 1.00 atm pressure is 0.9584 g/cm3.
Picture the Problem The heat capacity Cp of a sample of water is equal to the
mass m of the sample times the specific heat capacity cp of water, where
cp = 4186 J/kg·K. When the sample is heated, its temperature and its volume
increases. The increase in temperature reflects the increase in the internal energy
of the sample, and the increase in volume reflects the amount of work Won done
by the sample on its surroundings. That is, Won = PΔV, where P is the pressure
and ΔV is the change in volume of the sample. We are looking for the ratio of the
work done by the sample to the heat absorbed by the sample.

states: ″Do Not Dispose by Incineration.″ (a) Explain this warning and draw the
PV diagram for the gas if, in fact, the can is subject to a high temperature. (b) You
are in charge of testing the can. The manufacturer claims it can withstand an
internal gas pressure of 6.00 atm before it breaks. The can is initially at roomtemperature and standard pressure in your testing laboratory. You begin to heat it
uniformly using a heating element that has a power output of 200 W. The can and
element are in an insulating oven, and you can assume 1.0% of the heat released
by the heating element is absorbed by the gas in the can. How long should you
expect the heating element to remain on before the can bursts?
Picture the Problem This is a constant-volume process and so no work is done
on the system. The heat that is added to the gas by the heating element increases
the internal energy (and, hence, the temperature) of the gas. We can use the
definition of power to relate the minimum time-to-bursting to the internal energy
required to raise the temperature of the gas in the can and the rate at which energy
is supplied by the heating element. The energy required to burst the can is related

to the increase in the temperature of the can through the definition of the heat
capacity at constant volume Cv.

(a) Because the volume of the can is
fixed (constant), the heat absorbed
by the gas in the can all goes into
increasing the internal energy of the

A 1.00-mol sample of N2 gas at 20.0ºC and 5.00 atm is allowed to
expand adiabatically and quasi-statically until its pressure equals 1.00 atm. It is
then heated at constant pressure until its temperature is again 20.0ºC. After it
reaches a temperature of 20.0ºC, it is heated at constant volume until its pressure
is again 5.00 atm. It is then compressed at constant pressure until it is back to its
original state. (a) Construct a PV diagram showing each process in the cycle.
(b) From your graph, determine the work done by the gas during the complete

Picture the Problem To construct the PV diagram we’ll need to determine the
volume occupied by the gas at the beginning and ending points for each process.
Let these points be A, B, C, and D. We can apply the ideal-gas law to the starting
point (A) to find VA. To find the volume at point B, we can use the relationship
between pressure and volume for a quasi-static adiabatic process. We can use the
ideal-gas law to find the volume at point C and, because they are equal, the
volume at point D. We can apply the first law of thermodynamics to find the
amount of heat added to or subtracted from the gas during the complete cycle.

[SSM] A 1.00-mol sample of an ideal diatomic gas is allowed to
expand. This expansion is represented by the straight line from 1 to 2 in the PV
diagram (Figure 18-23). The gas is then compressed isothermally. This
compression is represented by the straight line from 2 to 1 in the PV diagram.
Calculate the work per cycle done by the gas.
Picture the Problem The total work done as the gas is taken through this cycle is
the area bounded by the two processes. Because the process from 1→2 is linear,
we can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid to find the work done during
this expansion. We can use Wisothermal process = nRT ln (Vf Vi ) to find the work done
on the gas during the process 2→1. The net work done during this cycle is then
the sum of these two terms.
Express the net work done per cycle:
Wnet = Wby the gas + Won the gas
= W1→ 2 + W2→1
Work is done by the gas during its
expansion from 1 to 2 and hence is
equal to the negative of the area of
the trapezoid defined by this path
and the vertical lines at V1 = 11.5 L
and V2 = 23 L. Use the formula for
the area of a trapezoid to express
W1→2:
W1→ 2 = − Atrap
Work is done on the gas during the
isothermal compression from V2 to
V1 and hence is equal to the area
under the curve representing this
process. Use the expression for the

by TcV4γ −1 = ThV1γ −1 . The gas is then compressed adiabatically until it is back in its
original state. (a) Assuming that each process is quasi-static, plot this cycle on a
PV diagram. (This cycle is known as the Carnot cycle for an ideal gas.) (b) Show
that the heat Qh absorbed during the isothermal expansion at Th is Qh = nRTh
ln(V2/V1). (c) Show that the heat Qc released by the gas during the isothermal
compression at Tc is Qc = nRTc ln (V3/V4). (d) Using the result that TVγ–1 is
constant for a quasi-static adiabatic expansion, show that V2/V1 = V3/V4. (e) The
efficiency of a Carnot cycle is defined as the net work done by the gas, divided by
the heat absorbed Qh by the gas. Using the first law of thermodynamics, show that
the efficiency is 1 – Qc/Qh. (f) Using your results from the previous parts of this

isothermal processes to express the work done on or by the system, the heat
entering or leaving the system, and the change in internal energy for each of the

During the process of quasi-statically compressing an ideal diatomic
gas to one-fifth of its initial volume, 180 kJ of work are done on the gas. (a) If
this compression is accomplished isothermally at room temperature (293 K), how
much heat released by the gas? (b) How many moles of gas are in this sample?
Picture the Problem (a) We can use the first law of thermodynamics to relate the
heat removed from the gas to the work done on the gas. (b) We can find the
number of moles of the gas from the expression for the work done on or by a gas
during an isothermal process.
(a) Apply the first law of
thermodynamics to this process:
Qin = ΔEint − Won = −Won
because ΔEint = 0 for an isothermal
process.
Substitute numerical values to

[SSM] As part of a laboratory experiment, you test the calorie
content of various foods. Assume that when you eat these foods, 100% of the
energy released by the foods is absorbed by your body. Suppose you burn a
2.50-g potato chip, and the resulting flame warms a small aluminum can of water.
After burning the potato chip, you measure its mass to be 2.20 g. The mass of the
can is 25.0 g, and the volume of water contained in the can is 15.0 ml. If the
temperature increase in the water is 12.5°C, how many kilocalories (1 kcal = 1

are? Assume the can of water captures 50.0 percent of the heat released during

Diesel engines operate without spark plugs, unlike gasoline engines.
The cycle that diesel engines undergo involves adiabatically compressing the air
in a cylinder, and then fuel is injected. When the fuel is injected, if the air
temperature inside the cylinder is above the fuel’s flashpoint, the fuel-air mixture
will ignite. Most diesel engines have compression ratios in the range from 14:1 to
25:1. For this range of compression ratios (which are the ratio of maximum to
minimum volume), what is the range of maximum temperatures of the air in the
cylinder, assuming the air is taken into the cylinder at 35°C? Most modern
gasoline engines typically have compression ratios on the order of 8:1. Explain
why you expect the diesel engine to require a better (more efficient) cooling
system than its gasoline counterpart.
1850 Chapter 18

to find the range of maximum temperatures of the air in the cylinder.

The range of maximum temperatures of the air in the cylinder, assuming it is

Gasoline engines, with much lower compression ratios, would clearly have lower
maximum operating temperatures and thus be subject to overall, average, lower
temperatures and not require as extensive cooling systems.

[SSM] A thermally insulated system consists of 1.00 mol of a
diatomic gas at 100 K and 2.00 mol of a solid at 200 K that are separated by a
rigid insulating wall. Find the equilibrium temperature of the system after the
insulating wall is removed, assuming that the gas obeys the ideal-gas law and that
the solid obeys the Dulong–Petit law.
Picture the Problem We can use conservation of energy to relate the equilibrium
temperature to the heat capacities of the gas and the solid. We can apply the
Dulong-Petit law to find the heat capacity of the solid at constant volume and use
the fact that the gas is diatomic to find its heat capacity at constant volume.
Apply conservation of energy to this
process:
ΔQ = Qgas + Qsolid = 0
Use Q = C V ΔT to substitute for Qgas and Qsolid:
C V,gas (Tequil − 100 K ) + C V,solid (Tequil − 200 K ) = 0
Solving for Tequil yields:
Tequil =
(100 K )(CV,gas ) + (200 K )(CV,solid )
Using the Dulong-Petit law,
determine the heat capacity of the
solid at constant volume:
C V,solid = 3nsolid R
The heat capacity of the gas at
constant volume is given by:
C V,gas = 52 ngas R

When an ideal gas undergoes a temperature change at constant
volume, its internal energy change is given by the formula ΔEint = CvΔT.
However, this formula correctly gives the change in internal energy whether the
volume remains constant or not. (a) Explain why this formula gives correct results
for an ideal gas even when the volume changes. (b) Using this formula, along
with the first law of thermodynamics, show that for an ideal gas Cp = Cv + nR.
Picture the Problem
(a) ΔEint = C V ΔT correctly gives the change in internal energy when the
temperature changes and the volume is not constant because ΔEint is the same for
all gas processes that have the same ΔT. For an ideal gas, the internal energy is
the sum of the kinetic energies of the gas molecules and this sum is proportional
to kT. Any two processes that change the thermal energy of the gas by ΔEint will
cause the same temperature change ΔT. Consequently, ΔEint is independent of the
process that takes the gas from one state to another.
(b) Use the first law of
thermodynamics to relate the work
done on the gas, the heat entering the
gas, and the change in the internal
energy of the gas:
ΔEint = Qin + Won
Substituting for ΔEint yields:
C V ΔT = Qin + Won
The work done on the gas during a
constant-pressure process is given
by:
Won = − PΔV = − P(Vf − Vi )

Picture the Problem In (a) we’ll assume that τ = f (A/V, T, k, m) with the factors
dependent on constants a, b, c, and d that we’ll find using dimensional analysis. In
(b) we’ll use our result from (a) and assume that the diameter of the puncture is

about 2 mm, that the tire volume is 0.1 m3, and that the air temperature is 20°C.
(a) Express τ = f (A/V, T, k, m):
⎛ A⎞
τ = ⎜ ⎟ (T ) b (k ) c (m ) d
⎝V ⎠
Rewrite this equation in terms of the
dimensions of the physical quantities

T = (L ) (K ) ⎜⎜ 2 ⎟⎟ (M )
⎝T K⎠
where K represents the dimension of
temperature.
Simplify this dimensional equation to
obtain:
T1 = L− a K b M c L2c K − c T -2c M d
or
T1 = L2 c−a K b−c M c+d T −2c
Equate exponents to obtain:
T : − 2c = 1 ,
L : 2c − a = 0 ,
K : b − c = 0,
and
M: c+d = 0
Solve these equations simultaneously
to obtain:
a = −1 , b = − 12 , c = − 12 , and d =
Substituting in equation (1) yields:
