Question 877: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

The pressure exerted by an ideal gas at a particular temperature is directly proportional to

Accepted Answer

The side length of a copper cube is $1 \, 	ext{m}$ at $0^{\circ} 	ext{C}$. We need to determine the change in its volume when it is heated to $100^{\circ} 	ext{C}$. Given the coefficient of linear expansion for copper $\left(\alpha_{	ext{copper}}ight)=18 	imes 10^{-6} /{}^{\circ} 	ext{C}$, we use the volumetric expansion formula for a cube:
$ \Delta V = V \cdot 3\alpha \cdot \Delta T $
Insert the given values:
$ \Delta V = 3 	imes 18 	imes 10^{-6} 	imes 100 $
This simplifies to:
$ \Delta V = 54 	imes 10^{-4} \, 	ext{m}^3 $
