AI Thread Summary
To find the new volume of a gas heated to 180°C at constant pressure, the ideal gas law equation V1/T1=V2/T2 is used. The initial volume is 1 cubic meter at standard temperature and pressure (STP), which is 0°C or 273.15 K. The temperature must be converted to Kelvin, resulting in 453.15 K for 180°C. The calculation leads to a division by zero error, indicating a misunderstanding in the initial temperature setup. Correctly applying the equation with the proper temperature conversion will yield the new volume.

Homework Statement



A Cubic meter of a gas at STP is heated to 180 degrees celcius. The pressure acting on the gas is kept constant. What is the new volume?

Homework Equations



V1/T1=V2/T2

The Attempt at a Solution



Well, I plugged in the variables and came up with:
1/0=V2/180
Doing this though, results in a math error. Am I doing something wrong or is there another step?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
