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.

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.

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.

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
