Thermodynamics Question- Melting Temp

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the melting temperature of a protein at high pressure using given thermodynamic parameters. The entropy change for denaturation is provided as 2.31 J/Kmol at 1 atm and 338 K. Participants suggest utilizing the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to approach the problem. The heat capacity change (∆Cp,m) and molar volume change (∆Vm) are also noted as important factors in the calculation. The thread highlights the need for guidance on initiating the solution process.

Homework Statement


For a protein denaturation the entropy change is 2.31J/Kmol at P = 1.00 atm and at the melting temperature T=338K. Calculate the melting temperature at a pressure of P= 1.00x10^3 atm if the heat capacity ∆Cp,m= 7.98J/Kmol and if ∆Vm=3.10mL/mol.

Homework Equations


∆S=∆H/T


The Attempt at a Solution



I am completey stuck. If someone could give me a tip on how to start, maybe I can get the ball rolling and solve this problem.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
