You warm 1.75 kg of water at a constant volume from 17.0C to 32.0C in a kettle. For the same amount of heat, how many kilograms of 17.0C air would you be able to warm to 32.0C? Make the simplifying assumption that air is 100% N2.

What volume would this air occupy at 17.0C and a pressure of 1.10 atm?

  • Weather Conditions -Climate change and global warming.

    Weather changes are caused by interactions between air masses of different temperatures. When cold air is moving into a a warm region, it lifts the warm air up, because it is denser and heavier.

  • Formation and break up of tropical hurricane

    Tropical storms that continue to intensify will keep pulling in warm and humid air from the lower atmosphere while spitting out cooler, drier air into the upper atmosphere.

  • CO2 emissions

    The "green house effect" is the effect of gases absorbing outgoing infrared rays and warming the air at the Earth's surface. Unfortunately, we are adding additional gases to the atmosphere and causing the atmosphere to warm up.

  • Earth Science

    This convergence of warm air in the updraft along with this cool down drafted air causes the cloud to rotate. At the beginning of the tornado, there was an abundant source of warm moist air.

  • How the skin regulates body termperature

    When these tiny muscles contract, they cause hair cells to stand up a little. This creates a space between the skin and the hair, which traps air in a static environment where it can move and blow around.

  • Types of inversions

    Normally, we expect to see air gradually decline in temperature with altitude. An inversion, or thermal inversion, occurs when there is a layer of warm air above colder air.

  • Swimming Pool - Cooler or Hotter

    But once we get out of the pool, the pores open again and the surrounding air, no matter how warm, will enter the pores of our skin, making us feel cold (A sort of endothermic reaction - heat absorbed by the body from the surrounding warm air through

  • Sea Level Changes, Intertropical Convergence Zone, Thunderstorms, Tornados and Hurricanes

    This is based on the principle that warm air can cold significantly more moisture than cool air. The water then precipitates out of the cloud in the form of rain.

  • Earth Science: Gravitational Pull, Effect on Environment

    TO SUM UP Because the Earth is spherical and not flat, the Sun\'s warm radiant energy doesn\'t fall evenly on the land and seas.
