What do you think happens to the volume of gas inside the balloon? As the temperature increases, the gas particles absorb more heat energy. They speed up and move farther away from one another. So the increase in temperature causes an increase in volume.
A248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 ml of water at 22.6 °c. the final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °c. calculate the initial temperature of the piece of copper. assume that all heat transfer occurs between the copper and the water. remember, the density of water is 1.0 g/m
Argon is adiabatically compressed from an initial volume of 16 liters to a final volume of 2 liters. by what factor do the following quantities change? do they increase or decrease? (a) the rms speed (b) the thermal energy of the gas (c) the molar specific heat cv (d) the pressure
