may cause the object to elongate. Compressive stress is produced when an
object is subjected to a compressive load which may cause the object
to shorten. (2)

QUESTION 7

7.1 The Kelvin scale is the absolute temperature for gasses and is measured in
Kelvin. The Celsius scale is used for solids and liquids and is measured in
degrees Celsius. (2)

7.2 V1 = 4/3πr³ = 4/3π42³ = 310339,089 mm3

P1 = 101,3 kPa T1 = 300 K
V2 = 4/3πr³ = 4/3π16³ = 17157,285 mm3

za
P2 = ? T2 = 283 K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P2 = P1V1/T1 × T2/ V2

o.
= 101,3 × 310339,089 × 283 / 300 × 17157,285

Difference in pressure = 1728,473 – 101,3 = 1627,173 kPa (4)

c
7.3 P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 but the pressure remains constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
40/293 = V2/323
V2 = 44,096 cm3

7.4 7.4.1 PV = mRT when filled
380 × 103 × 0,04 = m × 265 × 323
m = 0,178 kg (2)
ap

7.4.2 PV = mRT after oxygen being used

280 × 103 × 0,04 = m × 265 × 298
m = 0,142 kg left in cylinder
P

Therefore, the mass of oxygen used by the patient = 0,178 – 0,142

= 0,036 kg
= 36 gram (3)
