Ch. 18 Homework
An equal amount of 0°C air that is twice as hot has a temperature of
273°C.
Harry places a new air conditioner in the middle of his hot room, which when operating
further warms the room
A soda-pop can containing only steam is placed top downward in a pan of water. Whap! The can is dramatically crushed by atmospheric pressure. The reduced pressure inside the can is due to
condensation of steam inside.
During an adiabatic compression of an ideal gas
no heat enters or leaves the gas.
In the formation of a cloud, moist air rises and condenses. expands. cools. all of the above none of the above

If you leave the refrigerator door open in a closed room, the room temperature will
increase
The amount of energy ultimately converted to heat by an incandescent light bulb is about
100%
If a cup of tea at room temperature, 24°C is heated until it has twice the internal energy, unlike a piece of metal, its temperature will be
100°C
If a 5°C piece of iron is heated until it has twice as much internal energy, its temperature will be
283°C.
If a 10°C piece of iron is heated until it has twice as much internal energy, its temperature will be
293°C.
The change in internal energy of adding 100 joules to a system that does 60 joules of work is
40 J.
The ideal efficiency for a heat engine operating between the temperatures of 227°C and 27°C is
40%
The ideal efficiency for a heat engine operating between the temperatures 2700 K and 300 K is
89%.
Earth's atmosphere gets most of its heat from the
Sun.
The contained air in a closed, sealed can placed on a hot stove will undergo an increase in

A heat engine would have 100% efficiency if its low-temperature reservoir were
at absolute zero.
Entropy is a measure of messiness. disorder. both of the above

When you vigorously shake a can of chicken broth, you increase the temperature of the broth. are doing work on the broth. both of these

As a parcel of air is swept upward, with no heat input or output, its temperature
decreases.
Systems alone tend to move toward
disorder.
The first law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the conservation of
energy.
As a parcel of air at high altitude sinks to a lower elevation with no heat input or output, its temperature
increases.
As a system becomes more disordered, entropy
increases.
When you compress air with a tire pump, the air temperature in the tire
increases.
Your hand is warmed when you blow on it with your mouth open, but when your lips are puckered so that air expands as you blow, your hand is
increases.
High-quality energy in natural processes has a tendency to transform into
lower quality energy.
Systems alone tend to move toward a state of
more entropy.
A given amount of heat energy can be completely converted to mechanical energy in
none of the above
When an ideal gas is subjected to an adiabatic process the internal energy of the gas does not change. no work is done on the gas. the temperature of the gas does not change. all of the above none of the above

The main purpose of the condenser in the steam cycle of a steam turbine is to
ower pressure on the back side of the turbine blades
To totally convert a given amount of mechanical energy into heat is
possible.
A definite method for losing weight is
reduce Calorie intake.
Entropy is most closely related to the
second law of thermodynamics.
Internal energy in thermodynamics is the same as
thermal energy.
Chinook winds tend to
warm an environment.
Processes can proceed from disorder to order
when input energy is supplied.
