From a thermodynamic view Explain what happens when a glass drink bottle is placed into a container of ice.

Expert Solution

When a liquid is frozen, all of the molecules start sticking to each other and holding on very tightly. Because different types of molecules have different shapes, they hold on to each other in different places. Most of the time, when they start holding on to each other, they get closer together. When the molecules get closer together, they take up less space, so the frozen solid ends up being smaller than the unfrozen liquid.

When the water molecules start holding on to each other really tightly, they make a pattern that actually takes up /more/ space than they did when they weren't stuck together. (This pattern is what you see if you look at ice crystals.) So, when water freezes, the molecules take up more space, and the ice ends up being even /bigger/ than the water was.

If you were to put that water in a closed container in the freezer, then it would still get bigger. if you were to put it in a very full, tightly sealed glass container, then the frozen water would be pushing so hard that the glass might break. This is why if you put a glass bottle of juice in the freezer, you're supposed to take the lid off until it's frozen all the way.

Explain, in thermodynamic terms what happens and how it is achieved to ensure that an engine can operate at high altitude for commercial aircraft since the highier they go the less air is present for the engines to work with. What changes, differences in design for engines, are required for aircraft that operate at higher altitudes?

What happens to the magnetic domain structure of a ferromagnet when it is placed in an external magnetic field? - Domains whose magnetisation is at odds with the direction of the external field will vanish spontaneously at the expense of their neighbouring domains. - Domains will re-orientate their magnetisation parallel with the external field, starting with the domain which is most add odds with the external field direction. - Magnetic moments near Bloch walls will reorientate themselves in parallel with...

What happens when a charged non-conductor is placed near an uncharged conductor body? Explain They repel each other. They attract each other. They may attract or repel each other, depending on whether the charge on the insulator is positive or negative. They exert no electrostatic force on each other. The charged insulator always spontaneously discharges

a. What happens to nuclei with nonzero magnetic moments when they are placed in a strong external magnetic field? b. In a typical NMR experiment, a small amount of the compound to be analyzed is dissolved in a deuterated solvent. Explain what a deuterated solvent is and why it is used for NMR analyses.

In a manufacturing process where glass products are made, bubbles do occur. When this happens, the quality of the products will be affected. Suppose based on past records, on average, 1 in every 1000 of these glass products produced has one or more bubbles. (i) Apply a suitable exact model to compute the probability that a random sample of 5000 glass products will result in fewer than 4 products with bubbles. (ii) Apply an approximate model to compute the probability...
