Heat 11

The document contains questions related to thermal energy transfer, specifically regarding an electrical heater's effect on air temperature and the calculations involved. It also addresses changes of state in molecules, the expansion of gases compared to solids, and the behavior of compressed gas when released. Additionally, it includes calculations for time, volume, and explanations of molecular forces.

6 An electrical heater is placed on the floor of a room in a house. The heater is switched on.

(a) State the main process by which thermal energy is transferred to the air in all parts of the
room.

............................................................................................................................................. [1]

(b) The heater has a power of 1.5 kW. The air in the room has a mass of 65 kg. The specific heat
capacity of air is 720 J / (kg °C).

(i) Calculate the time it takes for this heater to raise the temperature of the air in the room
from 8.0 °C to 15.0 °C.

time = ......................................................... [4]

(ii) State two reasons why the time calculated in (b)(i) is smaller than the actual time taken
to raise the temperature of the air in the room from 8.0 °C to 15.0 °C.

Complete the following by writing solid, liquid or gas in each of the blank spaces.

1. Change of state X is from ............................................ to ............................................ .

2. Change of state Y is from ............................................ to ............................................ .

(c) A cylinder of volume 0.012 m3 contains a compressed gas at a pressure of 1.8 × 106 Pa.
A valve is opened and all the compressed gas escapes from the cylinder into the atmosphere.

The temperature of the gas does not change.

Calculate the volume that the escaped gas occupies at the atmospheric pressure
of 1.0 × 105 Pa.

volume = ......................................................... [3]
