Answer to Question #52205 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for ravish

Question

a) Derive an equation of state γpV= constant for an adiabatic process and show that an adiabat is steeper than an isotherm.
b) A block of copper whose expansivity, β, is 16K100.48−−× and isothermal elasticity, ,TE is 211Nm1030.1−×is at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 0°C. Its temperature is raised to 10°C. Calculate the final pressure when volume is kept constant. Express your answer in units of atmospheric pressure (atm).
c) Explain the working of a constant volume gas thermometer with the help of a neat and labelled diagram.
