I am Yuval john o ramos from bsee2-1 and the lesson is about Properties of Pure Substance.
Here’s some few examples for us to solve in.
Q1) A block of iron weighs 10N and has a volume of 600cm 3. What is the density of the block
in units of kg/m3????
SULAT density=m/v
as you can see in the given, we already have a volume which is 600 cm 3
SULAT Given:
v= 600cm3
m=?
so in order for us to get the mass we need to use the formula or concept of W=mg/gc or
weight=mg but I prefer using the formula with gravitational constant in order for us to
understand how we cancel the units. All We need to do is to derive that formula to find the
mass. it will become mass=wgc/g
take note that when you’re dealing with SI units your gravitational constant is 1kg m/s2 over 1N
and we all know that gravity is 9.81 m/s2
we already have the given of the weight which is the 10N, now substitute the gravitational and
then the gravity
now let’s substitute the mass and the volume to the formula of density which is m/v
so going back to the question, we are looking for the units of kg/m 3 meaning we need to convert
our density kg/cm3 into kg/m3
SULAT
specific volume= v/m = 1 over m/v = 1/density
as you can see in the given, we already have the value of specific weight which is 69.6 lb f/ft3
SULAT Given:
specific weight = 69.6 lbf/ft
therefore We can use the formula of specific weight which is y=density times gravity in order for
us to get the value of density. All we have to do is to derive the formula of specific weight into
finding density. It will become density= y/g
Getting the density can help us to find the specific volume, since the formula of specific volume
is 1/density
as you can see that our specific weight is in English unit so take note that the value of the gravity
must be in English unit as well. We know that gravity is 9.81m/s2 just convert it into ft/s2. Hence
the gravity in English unit is 32.2 ft/s2
as you can see that our units are not consistent that why we need to use gravitational constant.
We need to remove the unit of pound force so lets multiply it to 32.2 lbm ft/s 2 over 1lbf
now let’s substitute the density to the formula of specific volume which is 1/density
we need to convert the units of our specific volume since we are asked to find the units of cm 3/g
I am Yuval john o ramos from bsee2-1 and the lesson is about thermodynamics fundamental:
boundary work. So I am here to give you some few examples for us to solve
Q1) How much work does a gas perform at a constant pressure of 9.5 atm as expands from
volume of 3L to 5L
so under constant pressure, we can use the formula of W=(P) (changeV) or W=(P) (v2-v1)
as you can see we already have the given of pressure and volume
now you want that our answer to be JOULES. So, lets convert it
take note that our gas has EXPANDED, the work done by the gas is positive so the
answer must be in positive.
Q2) 900J of work was done on an ideal gas in a perfectly insulated container. (a) how
much heat energy was transferred? (b) what is the change in the internal energy of the
system? (c) will the temperature increase or decrease during the process?
so first, is the work positive or negative? Since the work is done ON THE GAS. Our work
is negative. So we have work of -900J.
sulat si work
what about part (b) what is the change in the internal energy of the system? So the
formula of getting the change of internal energy is heat – work or Q – W
so our heat is zero and our work is -900 therefore when we substitute this given to the formula
we will have an answer of positive 900
this is the answer for change of internal energy
so for part (c) will the temperature increase or decrease during the process?
well delta U is proportional to delta T. so if delta U is positive then delta T is positive so
therefore the temperature is positive which means that the temperature will increase
anytime you have an adiabatic compression the temperature will go up and during an
adiabatix expansion the temperature will go down.
