though its temperature remains unchanged as it freezes. (In section F we will learn that a second possibility
is that the number of degrees of freedom per molecule decreases. However, this isn't the case for water that
freezes.) 3. a) f'(0)=0, f"(0)=+2 b) f(x)=-2+0x+x2+x3+0x4 c) (-.57, +.54)

12. 6 13. H2O is not a linear molecule as is N2. Therefore, H2O has appreciable moments of inertia
about all three rotational axes, and so rotations about all three axes can be excited. For N2, however, the
rotational inertia about one axis (the one that passes through both atomic nuclei) is extremely small, and so
the energy of the even the first excited rotational state about this axis is too high to be reached. 14. 3

intermediate temperatures, 2 rotational degrees of freedom become accessible, making 5 altogether. At very

1. a) yes b) yes c) Although the air and walls emit more radiation altogether, only a small fraction of
that hits the rock. 2. a) No, because if the pressure is zero, then no work is done (pdV=0).
b) If it is not under pressure, then the molecules are not colliding with the walls. So their energy is not
affected by the walls' motions. 3. a) It decreases, because the system does work, rather than having
work done on it. b) As the system contracts, the potential energy of each particle decreases. (That is
why it contracts. The particles are seeking the configuration of lower potential energy.) Like a ball rolling
downhill, each particle's average kinetic (hence thermal) energy increases as the potential well deepens. But
the gain in thermal energy is less than the loss in potential energy. 4. 172J or 41 cal, which is about 8%

7. u0 is negative, because thermal energy is released when the H2SO4 molecule enters the solution. The
change in chemical potential is negative, because the molecules go into solution rather than out of solution.
They go in the direction that lowers their chemical potential. 8. The intermolecular attractive forces are
much stronger for the water molecules, making their potential well u0 much deeper. Correspondingly more
energy is required to liberate them. 9. a) The temperature would fall because the same thermal energy
would be distributed over more degrees of freedom, meaning less thermal energy per degree of freedom. b)
The temperature would fall because the gain in potential energy leaves less energy to be distributed among
the thermal degrees of freedom. 10. 194 K 11. 2760 cal/mol 12. 4150 cal/mol 13. 2560

17. =18.1 18. 0.029 eV 19. a) In liquid water the molecules are closer together. Their mutually
attractive forces are stronger, and therefore the potential well is deeper at these closer distances. b) In ice,
their reduced thermal motion allows them to orient and space themselves in a way that lowers their potential
energy. c) Compared to molecules of oil, the water molecule is much more highly polarized, making
stronger electrostatic attraction between the charged parts of the water molecule and the charged salt ions.
20. a) -0.174 eV b) -0.608 eV 21. a) 20.3 J b) 4.9 cal c) u0 rises. (Less thermal energy but
the same total internal energy.) 22. a) 1550 J b) Internal energy includes only those things that are
entirely internal to the object, and not interactions with things external to the object, such as an external
magnetic or gravitational field. The torque that the external field exerts on the atomic magnets does tend to
flip them into alignment, and this work done on them does increase their kinetic energy (work energy
theorem), which gets distributed through all thermal degrees of freedom. So the thermal energy of the
system does increase. 23. a) 1.52x105 J b) T=-22 K 24. a) 0.98 liter b) 506 J c) -0.12 0C

coordinate space accessible to each molecule increases immensely, because the molecules become mobile
and can move throughout the fluid. This volume is much larger and affords access to many more states than

the solid state.

So the oceans greatly moderate the climate. 39. cp would be larger. If held at constant pressure and
allowed to expand, the expansion would cause some cooling, resulting in a smaller net rise in temperature as
heat is added. Smaller rise in temperature means larger heat capacity. 40. a) 0.74 cal/gK b) Table

process where the system gains volume in coordinate or momentum space without losing volume in the other.
(Ex. removing a partition, or a chemical explosion.) 9. The condition 9.3a applies to systems interacting

condition is for purely mechanical interactions. As heat is removed from the water, it is engaging in thermal
interactions, too. 17. No, because the condition is for purely thermal interactions. The volume of
melting ice is changing, so it is engaging in mechanical interactions as well. If the volume were held
constant, the pressure would fall and the freezing point would rise (T>0) as heat was added (Q>0) to melt
the ice. The condition would be met. 18. They will both move closer together. 19. You must explain
how to measure T and Q for thermal interactions, p and V for mechanical interactions, or µ and N

b) Yes. (You wouldn't be able to get food in or out without breaking the pressure seal.) 34. Constant
volume. If you used constant pressure, the volume would decrease at lower temperatures, meaning that
interatomic spacings would get smaller and interactions would get stronger. This would mean greater

the gas liquefies sooner. 35. a) 46 ºC b) -281 ºC 36. a) water b) water c) The greater
pressure favors the phase of lower volume, which is liquid for water, but not for glass. d) At lower pressure,
it is easier to expand, so the water doesn't have so much trouble freezing. e) Higher pressure favors the
denser liquid phase, so the boiling point rises under increased pressure, and falls under reduced pressure.

could be have been obtained in an infinite number of different ways, with different heat transfers and
different amounts of work. For example, imagine starting with a system in a canister at fixed volume near
absolute zero, where the pressure is nearly zero (pV0). Then simply add heat until the pressure rises to
some arbitrary value. This value of pV was obtained without any work at all having been done. Similarly,

27. =4.0x10-5 /K (Ignore the smaller terms of order T2 and T3.) 28. a) and b) Add heat to the
system in the cylinder and let it expand under constant pressure. You must record the values of (V,V,T) to
calculate =(1/V)(V/T)p. c) This will be done the same as parts (a) and (b), but with a complication for
measuring the volume and change in volume for the solid (Vs and Vs). Put water in the cylinder and
measure its volume, Vw. Then add the solid, and the increase in volume is its volume, Vs. Now add the heat
and record the change in temperature and volume (T and Vtotal). Since you already know w from the
previous measurements, you can calculate Vw=T and subtract this from Vtotal to get Vs.

the temperature change, T. CV=Q/T)V b) Put the liquid in the cylinder and let the volume change to
keep the pressure constant as you add Q and measure T. Cp=Q/T)p. c) Put volume V of the liquid
in the cylinder and measure the change in volume V as you change the pressure by p. You will have to
add or remove heat to keep the temperature constant as you do this. =(1/V)(V/p)T d) Immerse the
solid in the liquid in the cylinder, and measure Vtotal and V total as above. To get Vs and Vs for the solid
alone, you have to subtract that of the liquid, determined as above. (Vs=Vtotal-Vw , Vs=Vtotal-Vw)

35. While moving, a part of the motions of all molecules is coherent - all moving the same direction
together. Friction turns this coherent motion into random thermal motion. To go back, this random thermal
motion would have to turn back into synchronized coherent motion - all molecules going the same direction
together. This is very unlikely - a state of very low entropy. Like flipping 1024 coins and having them all
land heads. 36. Although the initial kinetic energy of the book is not part of the internal energy of either

the form Weng-Wfrig=Weng' +(a-b)(Qh/Th)(Ta-Tc). This last term is negative [(a-b)≤0], so Weng-
Wfrig≤Weng'. That is, you get less work output with the refrigeration than without it. 43. Suppose that
on your pV diagram you have isothermal expansion from V1 to V2, adiabatic expansion from V2 to V3,
isothermal compression from V3 to V4, and adiabatic compression from V4 to V1. Then from the two
isothermal parts you should be able to show that Qh/Th=nRln(V2/V1) and Qc/Tc=nRln(V3/V4). And from
the two adiabatic lines you should bet ThV2=TcV3 and ThV1=TcV4, from which (V2/V1)=(V3/V4). Plug

doesn't change much) during the combustion. In turbine engines, the heat is added while the fluid is in an
open tube in the heat exchanger, so the pressure is the same from one end of the tube to the other.

molecules in the liquid phase are in a deeper potential well, which requires larger thermal energies (higher
temperatures) for escape. 39. Tc higher for water. The self attraction is stronger for the water
