Explain why the air that comes out of a burst tire is cooler than the surrounding air
A tire burst is a sudden change and there is not much heat transfer. The expanding air does positive work. According to the first law of thermodynamics, this work causes an equal decrease in internal energy. The decrease in internal energy relates to a decrease in the average kinetic energy of the molecules and, therefore, the temperature.
Compare the behavior of solids and gases on the particle level as these substances heat up.
As an object heats up, its particles have an increased amount of kinetic and potential energies. Particles in solids remain connected to one another, as if by springs. Their increased energy results in an increased vibration of these particles between one and another. Gases, however, are only loosely connected to one another and are free to move. Increased heat results in these particles gaining kinetic energy that causes them to both move faster and collide more frequently. This results in larger changes in volume for gases as temperatures change.
When a closed tin is heated, the pressure inside it increases. This happens because: a. The number of molecules increases on heating. b.

The molecules now collide more with the walls of the tin than amongst themselves.

A hot object has more thermal energy than a similar cold object only because of greater kinetic energy
False, A hot object has more thermal energy than a similar cold object because of greater kinetic energy and potential energy.
The temperature of a system must increase when heat energy is added.
False, A system can maintain its temperature by doing work equal to the amount of heat added, or the system can undergo a change in state.
Entropy is the amount of work done in the absence of friction.
False, Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system
Some machines can accomplish work with no increase in entropy because they have no friction associated with them.
False, Every machine increases entropy when it does work.
In a vacuum flask, the vacuum helps in reducing heat loss due to radiation.
False, Heat transfer can take place through vacuum by the process of radiation. A vacuum does not allow heat transfer by conduction and convection.
The thermal energy of the particles in a gas is related to the temperature of the gas.

When the same amount of thermal energy is added to both an object with high specific heat and an object with low specific heat, the object with a high specific heat will increase in temperature more than the object with a low specific heat.
False, The object with a high specific heat will increase in temperature less than an object with low specific heat.
The temperature of a bottle containing water rises when it is shaken vigorously since shaking adds heat to the system
False, The temperature rises because work is done on the system. No heat is added.

False, absolute zero is defined as the zero point on the Kelvin scale
The amount of energy required to melt a solid depends on its mass and its ____________________.
Heat of fusion
Explain why the heat of vaporization is greater than the heat of fusion for most substances
It requires more energy to vaporize a liquid at its boiling point because the particles have to overcome additional forces attracting particles to one another in order for the particles to vaporize. Melting a solid does not take as much energy because although the particles are no longer in a regular arrangement as in the solid phase, they have more forces holding them in the liquid phase.
James places a 100 g block of copper at 50C next to a 100 g block of silver at 20C. He asserts that at thermal equilibrium, the final temperatures of both blocks of metal will be 35C. Do you agree with James? Explain why or why not.
James is incorrect. The final temperature depends on the specific heat of the each substance. Since the silver has a lower specific heat, it will change in temperature more than the copper as thermal energy is exchanged

Propose an experimental design that would allow you to determine the identity of an unknown metal using thermodynamics concepts.
One could use specific heat to identify a metal by using calorimetry to determine the specific heat of the metal and looking up the specific heat value in a data table. The metal should be heated to a known initial temperature, perhaps by immersing it in boiling water for approximately 5-10 minutes. It can then be placed into a known mass of water at a known initial temperature in a well-insulated container. The final temperature of the water should be determined after the system reaches thermal equilibrium. The change in thermal energy of the water will be equal to the thermal energy change of the metal; the sum of the two thermal energies will be zero, allowing one to calculate the specific heat value of the metal.

Explain how a refrigerator can continue to keep food cold if warmer food continues to be added to it.
Thermal energy flows spontaneously to the air in the refrigerator from the warmer food, cooling the food down. In order to keep the air in the refrigerator cold, energy must be removed from it. Pipes circulate in the refrigerator and contain a liquid that is vaporized as thermal energy is removed from the inside of the refrigerator. The gas passes through a condenser where thermal energy is removed from the gas, converting it to a liquid, and releasing the thermal energy to the air outside the refrigerator.
The point at which the net flow of thermal energy between two objects at the same temperature is zero is called ____________________.
