If the gas tank is filled to the brim with hydrogen gas particles (i.e. the small red particles), describe
what happens to the setup when:

The tank is heated without manipulating the tank’s size;

The gas tank, which is filled to the brim with hydrogen gas particles, bursts open when it is heated even
without the manipulation of its size. Compared to when it is enlarged, the gas tank explodes at a much
faster rate, especially when it reaches a temperature of 500K.

The tank’s size is manipulated without heating it; and

If we manipulate the tank’s size into a larger one, the pressure stays constant despite the fast movement
of the hydrogen gas particles. It does not burst open, unlike when we change the size of the tank into a
smaller one. Once the tank is filled with the particles, it immediately explodes. This happens because the
amount of pressure accelerates faster due to the smaller size of the tank. Once it surpasses its threshold,
it bursts open even without heat.
c. The tank is both heated and had its size manipulated.
The tank’s reaction is the opposite of the observation stated above. When heated, the enlarged tank
eventually bursts open. This phenomenon may be due to the rise in temperature affecting the pressure
or vice versa. The smaller gas tank’s reaction, however, stays the same. The tank still bursts open, only
much faster because of the heat.

Repeat the scenarios in Question #1, but use the oxygen gas particles (i.e. the large blue particles).
Which of those gas particles “busts open” the gas tank faster? Justify your answer.

With the help of the stopwatch, we observed that the hydrogen gas particles (the small red ones) “busts
open” the tank much faster. The hydrogen gas particles exploded faster than the oxygen gas particles

Between a brick and an iron block, which material transfers heat faster? Explain your answer.


If we are to determine which between a brick and an iron block transfers heat fasterI ron is more compact
than brick Causing to more faster reaction to it's atoms and faster transfer of energy, the iron block would
obviously transfer heat much faster than a brick because an iron block is much more conductive than a

 brick. A brick can sometimes be made up of either a cement or a clay, and these two are no better when
it comes to transferring heat because they are not as conductive as an iron.
We can see how effective iron is when it comes to transferring heat in computer heat pipes, these heat
pipes are one of the most vital parts in a computer’s cooler because it helps to spread heat evenly in an
heatsink.

Between water and olive oil, which of the two liquids heats up faster? Explain your answer.

Between water and olive oil, olive oil will heat up faster than water because the specific heat capacity of
water is typically 1 cal/(gr*° C) or 4.186 J/(gr*°C) while of olive oil or any kind of mineral oil is only about
half of it.
We can see this theory by testing the two substance in a microwave. Microwaves are better at heating
polar liquids, like water. Oils are very non-polar. Olive oil will heat up faster on the hotplate than water
will. Water will still heat slower than olive oil when placed in the microwave. olive oil will heat up faster
than water because the heat capacity of oil is lower than the heat capacity of water. Water requires more
energy per gram of liquid to change its temperature.

5.) Based from your responses in the previous questions, explain how the Laws of Thermodynamics can
be applied in both simulations.

Thermodynamics is the study of the movement of heat, and as we can see in the simulation, it is an
isobaric process in which the pressure of the system (often a gas) stays constant. 'Iso' means the same,
and 'baric' means pressure. Pressure is related to the amount of force that the molecules apply to the
walls of the container. We have a gas inside a movable piston and you heat that gas up. By heating the
gas up, you make the molecules move faster, which would normally increase the pressure. But at the
same time the piston expands, increasing the volume and giving the molecules more room to move. Since
the walls of the container are now bigger, the pressure can stay the same even though the molecules are
moving faster. That makes it an isobaric process.
