Short Answer
Question 1.

If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium in one frame, will they be in thermal equilibrium in all frames?


Answer:

Yes, if two bodies are in thermal equilibrium in one frame, they will be in thermal equilibrium in all the frames. The two bodies in thermal equilibrium will be having same temperature and temperature is independent of frame of reference. Due to change in frame, if there is any change in the temperature of one body, the heat will flow from hotter body to colder body and as a result same change will be reflected in the temperature of other body. Therefore, the two bodies will be in thermal equilibrium even if the frame changes.



Question 2.

Does the temperature of a body depend on the frame from which it is observed?


Answer:

No, the temperature of a body doesn’t dependent on the frame from which it is observed. Thermal motion can be considered as the random motion of the particles such as atoms, molecules etc. correlated with its thermal energy. The thermal energy of particles is in turn related to the temperature of that object. Thermal motion differs from ordinary mechanical motion because the particles within the object move in a random manner. The thermal motion doesn’t dependent on the frame from which it is observed. As the driving mechanism behind temperature is the thermal motion, we can say that the temperature is also independent of the frame of reference.



Question 3.

It is heard sometimes that mercury is used in defining the temperature scale because it expands uniformly with the temperature. If the temperature scale is not yet defined, is it logical to say that a substance expands uniformly with the temperature?


Answer:

Usually all substance expands uniformly with temperature except few fluids such as water. In general, when liquid is heated it expands with temperature as the kinetic energy of the micro particles increases. Due to the anomalous behavior of water, it’s volume decreases with temperature from 0°C to 4°C and after 4°C like other fluids it expands with temperature. In a scenario where the temperature scale is yet to be defined, the uniform expansion behavior of mercury can be analyzed by performing a relative study of expansion of mercury with expansion of other fluids. Temperature scale just represents the relative level of magnitude of temperature. Hence, we cannot justify the statement that mercury expands uniformly before temperature scale was defined.



Question 4.

In defining the ideal gas temperature scale, it is assumed that the pressure of the gas at constant volume is proportional to the temperature T. How can we verify whether this is true or not? Are we using the kinetic theory of gases? Are we using the experimental result that the pressure is proportional to temperature?


Answer:

The ideal gas thermometer is based on the ideal gas law. So, it follows ideal gas equation PV=nRT, where R is a proportionality constant known as the ideal gas constant and P is pressure of the gas at constant volume V with n number of moles at temperature T. Therefore, we can say that, P = constant × T. According to this relation, if for a fixed volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. To verify this, there is no need to use kinetic theory of gases or any experimental results.



Question 5.

Can the bulb of a thermometer be made of an adiabatic wall?


Answer:

No, bulb of a thermometer can’t be made of an adiabatic wall. In thermodynamics, a wall which does not permits thermal interaction is referred as adiabatic wall and a boundary wall that allows heat exchange between the system and surroundings is referred as diathermic wall. To measure the temperature of a body, the bulb of a thermometer is put in contact with it. Within sometime, the bulb reaches the body's temperature allowing us to determine the temperature of body. If the wall of a thermometer is adiabatic, then there will be no exchange of heat energy between two systems and temperature of the body cannot be measured. Therefore, the bulb should be made of diathermic wall not adiabatic wall.



Question 6.

Why do marine animals live deep inside a lake when the surface of the lake freezes?


Answer:

The phenomena of anomalous expansion of water help marine animals to live inside a lake even when the surface of the lake freezes. Similar to all other liquids, volume of a given amount of water decreases with temperature until its temperature reaches 4 °C. Due to the anomalous behavior, the volume increases when the water is cooled below 4 °C and therefore the density decreases. When the temperature of surface water of lake reaches at 4 °C it sinks to the bottom as it becomes denser and water from bottom moves upward to the surface. When the temperature of bottom of lake reaches 4°C the circulation of water stops and at 0°C the surface water freezes. As the ice is less dense than water it floats on the surface of lake. This frozen water acts as an insulator of heat and check the further heat to escape. The water at the bottom of lake remains at 4 °C (constant temperature) as there is no circulation of water. Hence, marine animals can easily survive deep inside the lake even when the surface of the lake freezes.



Question 7.

The length of a brass rod is found to be smaller on a hot summer day than on a cold winter day as measured by the same aluminium scale. Do we conclude that brass shrinks on heating?


Answer:

Without considering all dependent parameters, we cannot reach a conclusion that brass shrinks on heating. Due to heat, during hot summer day, metals tend to expand. The coefficient of expansion differs from metal to metal. As the coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium is more than brass, it will expand comparatively more. As a result there will be an apparent decrease in length of the brass rod, as measured by the aluminium scale. It is not that brass shrinks on heating instead we can say on heating, aluminium expands more than brass.



Question 8.

If mercury and glass had equal coefficient of volume expansion, could we make a mercury thermometer in a glass tube?


Answer:

Yes, we can make. Mercury and glass have equal coefficients of volume expansion which means they have equal volumetric expansion. The coefficient of volume expansion is defined as the fractional change of volume per Kelvin rise in temperature. The accepted value of coefficient of volumetric expansion of mercury is 181 x /K. When there is a change in temperature, the increase in the volume of the glass tube would be zero. The rise in the glass tube’s volume is equal to the difference of real increase in volume and increase in the volume of the container. Hence, mercury thermometer in a glass tube will give accurate reading at every temperature.



Question 9.

The density of water at 4°C is supposed to be 1000 kg m–3. Is it same at the sea level and at a high altitude?


Answer:

The density of water is related to temperature. At the temperature of 4°C the density of water is the highest. Atmospheric pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. So, when altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. According to the equation P=hρg, where ρ=density of fluid and P is the pressure of fluid, pressure depends on density. Therefore at 4°C, as the pressure is less, the water density at high altitude will be lower compared to sea level density.



Question 10.

A tightly closed metal lid of a glass bottle can be opened more easily if it is put in hot water for some time. Explain.


Answer:

A tightly closed metal lid of a glass bottle can be opened more easily if it is put in hot water for some time because coefficient of expansion of metal is greater than that of glass. So, when the metal lid comes in contact with hot water, it expands at a faster rate than the glass jar, which in turn forms a gap between the metal lid and the glass bottle. This gap increases as the metal lid expands, as a result glass bottle can be opened more easily.



Question 11.

If an automobile engine is overheated, it is cooled by putting water on it. It is advised that the water should be put slowly with engine running. Explain the reason.


Answer:

In order to cool down the overheated engine, it is recommended to put water slowly and carefully. There are two reasons for the same. One is to avoid engine to crack down and second reason is safety. If overheated engine parts are cooled too rapidly, then there will be uneven thermal contraction in the parts. As a result, thermal stress is developed and potential cracking of the head and/or block may happen. The blow back pressure of putting cold water in an overheated engine can cause severe burns.



Question 12.

Is it possible for two bodies to be in thermal equilibrium if they are not in contact?


Answer:

Yes, it possible for two bodies to be in thermal equilibrium if they are not in contact. By definition, even if two objects are not in direct contact, if they are in a closed system they will come into thermal equilibrium with each other if they are in thermal contact. Thermal equilibrium in a closed system is achieved by heat exchange. Suppose there are two bodies X and Y that are not in contact with each other. These two bodies are in contact with another body say, Z. Then according to the Zeroth law of thermodynamics the bodies X and Y will be in thermal equilibrium with each other as X is in thermal equilibrium with Z and Y is in thermal equilibrium with Z. Therefore, it is evident that two bodies can be in thermal equilibrium even if they are not in contact.



Question 13.

A spherical shell is heated. The volume changes according to the equation Vθ = V0 (1 + γθ). Does the volume refer to the volume enclosed by the shell or the volume of the material making up the shell?


Answer:

When heated, the volume of a spherical shell varies according to the equation Vθ = V0 (1 + γθ). As the volume of spherical shell expands with rise of temperature, the volume referred here is volume of the material used to make up the shell. Here, the coefficient of expansion of volume is γ.

A system X is neither in thermal equilibrium with Y nor with Z. The systems Y and Z
A. must be in thermal equilibrium

B. cannot be in thermal equilibrium

Length of the Glass window : lGl= 20 cm
Breadth of the Glass Window: bGl = 30 cm.
Coefficient of linear expansion for glass :αgl = 9.0 × 10–6 °C-1


Coefficient of linear expansion for Aluminum: αAl=24×10–6°C-1.



Due to a drop in temperature, thermal contraction will take place(opposite of thermal expansion) and thus the dimensions of both aluminium frame and glass window will undergo contraction. In order to avoid crack in the glass window, the contracted size of both the frame and the window should be same.

Now Let the Volume of mercury at T1 = 20° C be VHg. We need to find VHg.


Due to Change in temperature, Volume Expansion takes place.


When mercury is added in the glass, it consumes some amount of volume VHg, thus the remaining space is Vg - VHg. ----( Initial).


When volume expansion takes place the changed volume of glass and mercury inside it is V’g and V’Hg respectively. Thus the remaining space after the volume expansion is V’g –V’Hg.--( Final)


The given condition says that the remaining space should not change with temperature which means: Initial = Final



Formula used :

The Average coefficient of volume expansion of water:
γ=3.2×10–4 °C–1.


We need to find the increased height of the water level when temperature is increased to 80° C.


First Let’s calculate the increased volume of water.
Formula Used:


The formula for Volume Expansion of a body is:



Here V’ is the changed volume of the body( in this case water) at T2 due to expansion and V is the initial volume at T1


Substituting the given values ,we get:




Thus the final volume of water after temperature increase is 511.2 cm3.


Now, The aluminium can will be expanded too due to temperature increase.


But it’s linear expansion is along it’s length only. Which means that area expansion can be neglected.


Since we got the Final Volume and Initial volume of Water and neglecting area expansion we can find out the height of the increased water level.



Now,


Rise in water level is given by :





Hence the rise in the water level if the temperature increases to 80°C is 0.0896 cm.
