Volume Thermal Expansion
We can model volume expansion in a similar way:
∆V = βVi ∆T
β is the average coefficient of volume expansion.
If the material is isotropic (the same in all directions, symmetrywrt rotations of coordinate systems) then:
β = 3α
using the fact that α∆T � 1.
(This entire model is only approximately true over a restrictedrange of temperatures.)
Volume Thermal ExpansionSuppose Vi = `wh
∆V ≈ (∆`)wh + `(∆w)h + `w(∆h)
= (α`∆T )wh + `(αw ∆T )h + `w(αh∆T )
= (α∆T )(3`wh)
= (3α)Vi ∆T
= βVi ∆T
So, β ≈ 3α.
Volume Thermal ExpansionSuppose Vi = `wh
∆V ≈ (∆`)wh + `(∆w)h + `w(∆h)
= (α`∆T )wh + `(αw ∆T )h + `w(αh∆T )
= (α∆T )(3`wh)
= (3α)Vi ∆T
= βVi ∆T
So, β ≈ 3α.

This behavior of water is the reason lakes freeze from the top down rather thanfrom the bottom up. As water on the surface is cooled from, say, 10°C toward thefreezing point, it becomes denser (“heavier”) than lower water and sinks to thebottom. Below 4°C, however, further cooling makes the water then on the surfaceless dense (“lighter”) than the lower water, so it stays on the surface until it freezes.Thus the surface freezes while the lower water is still liquid. If lakes froze from thebottom up, the ice so formed would tend not to melt completely during the sum-mer, because it would be insulated by the water above. After a few years, manybodies of open water in the temperate zones of Earth would be frozen solid all yearround—and aquatic life could not exist.

Thermal expansion of a volume

18-7 Temperature and HeatIf you take a can of cola from the refrigerator and leave it on the kitchen table, itstemperature will rise—rapidly at first but then more slowly—until the tempera-ture of the cola equals that of the room (the two are then in thermal equilibrium).In the same way, the temperature of a cup of hot coffee, left sitting on the table,will fall until it also reaches room temperature.
In generalizing this situation, we describe the cola or the coffee as a system(with temperature TS) and the relevant parts of the kitchen as the environment(with temperature TE) of that system. Our observation is that if TS is not equal toTE, then TS will change (TE can also change some) until the two temperatures areequal and thus thermal equilibrium is reached.
Such a change in temperature is due to a change in the thermal energy of thesystem because of a transfer of energy between the system and the system’senvironment. (Recall that thermal energy is an internal energy that consists of the

In a similar way, you can show that the change in area of a rectangular plate is given by DA 5 2aAi DT (see Problem 61). A simple mechanism called a bimetallic strip, found in practical devices such as mechanical thermostats, uses the difference in coefficients of expansion for differ-ent materials. It consists of two thin strips of dissimilar metals bonded together. As the temperature of the strip increases, the two metals expand by different amounts and the strip bends as shown in Figure 19.9.

Thermal Expansion and Water
Water has a strange behavior with temperature change.
Ice is less dense than water, but even in its liquid phase, waterexpands as it cools between 4◦C and 0◦C.
Water forms crystals as it freezes. Those crystals have a greatervolume than liquid water.
Between 4◦C and 0◦C some small crystals begin to form,expanding the volume of the water.

Ideal Gases
An ideal gas is a gas
• at low pressure
• at a temperature much higher than its condensation point
• at a low density
Ideal Gas Equation
The equation of state for an ideal gas:
PV = nRT
where
• P is pressure
• V is volume
• n is the number of moles (amount of gas)
• R = 8.314 J mol−1 K−1 is the universal gas constant
• T is temperature measured in Kelvin
The LHS and RHS of this equation both have units of Joules(energy).
Moles?
1 mole or 1 mol. of a substance is NA = 6.022× 1023 moleculesof that substance. (NA is Avogadro’s number.)

Moles
Why is this even a unit?
Not such a long time ago scientists really did not have any idea ofhow much mass an individual molecule would have, or how manymolecules would be present in a cubic meter of gas. Even theexistence of atoms and molecules was controversial.
1 mole was a macroscopic unit they could work with.
1 mole of a substance is the amount that has the same number ofmolecules as there are atoms in 12 grams of a pure Carbon-12sample. (That is NA = 6.022× 1023.)

Some History of Atoms and Molecules (Skipping)
Many ancient Indian, Greek, and Roman philosophers argued for abasic unit of matter: the atom.
In Europe, most philosophers thought matter was insteadcontinuous (Aristotle).
Nevertheless, ideas about “corpuscles” (small particles) wereimportant for Newton and his contemporaries.
A chemist, Robert Boyle (1627-1692) speculated that if atoms /corpuscles made up matter, that would resolve many problemsarising in chemistry.
He proved correct.
Understanding from Chemical Reactions (Skipping)
John Dalton, a physicist and chemist in ∼1803 started trying tounderstand the patterns of chemical reactions.
Electrolysis can dissociate water
water −→ oxygen + hydrogen
and always the same proportions are produced: twice as muchhydrogen as oxygen (by volume, at equal pressure, temperature).
This lead him to suppose that
• matter was composed of atoms
• chemical substances that could not be dissociated wereelements
• chemical substances that could be dissociated were formedfrom combinations of atoms
Understanding from Chemical Reactions (Skipping)
Rules of Dalton’s theory2:
• Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms.
• Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, andother properties; atoms of different elements differ in size,mass, and other properties.
• Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.
• Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-numberratios to form chemical compounds.
• In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, orrearranged.
Which of these turned out to be incorrect?

Additional Evidence for atoms: Brownian Motion(Skipping)
In 1827 Robert Brown, a botanist, observed pollen grainssuspended in water through a microscope.
He expected to see them suspended at rest, but did not.
Instead the grains of pollen seemed to jump and wiggle about forno discernible reason.
He wondered if it was something peculiar that pollen did so hetried again with dust and soot – and saw the same thing!
This motion is called Brownian Motion.
Brownian Motion (Skipping)
Brownian motion remained a mystery until 1905.
Einstein, building on tools he had just developed in his doctoralthesis, developed a theory describing Brownian motion.
It is the result of fast-moving water molecules (too small to see)colliding with the pollen molecules, and jostling them.

GroupI
GroupII Transition elements
Note : Atomic mass values given are averaged over isotopes in the percentages in which they exist in nature.For an unstable element, mass number of the most stable known isotope is given in parentheses.†
The atomic mass number is average mass of all isotopes of anelement weighted by abundance in nature.
(Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.)
Back to Moles
Now that we know the make up of various molecules in terms oftheir constituent atoms, we can determine the mass of eachmolecule.
We can then work out how many moles are in a certain mass of asubstance, m.
n =m
M
where M is the molar mass, or mass of 1 mole of the substance.
For example, water is H2O. Hydrogen has atomic mass 1, Oxygenhas atomic mass 8.
1 + 1 + 16 = 18 amu

Question
A balloon contains 6.00 g of helium.
How many moles is that?
He: 4.00 amu ⇒ M = 4.00 g/mol
n =m
M= 1.50 mol

Ideal Gas Equation
The equation of state for an ideal gas:
PV = nRT
Can also be written:
PV = NkBT
where
• P is pressure
• V is volume
• N is the number of molecules
• kB = 1.380649× 10−23 J K−1 is Boltzmann’s constant
• T is temperature
Question
Quick Quiz 19.63 On a winter day, you turn on your furnace andthe temperature of the air inside your home increases. Assumeyour home has the normal amount of leakage between inside airand outside air. Is the number of moles of air in your room at thehigher temperature
