Chapter 19, Problem 48PQ
A triple-point cell such as the one shown in Figure 19.20 (page 571) is constructed and calibrated at sea level. It is then shipped to Denver, which is 1 mi above sea level. Can the researchers in the Denver lab use the triple-point cell just as in a laboratory at sea level, or will special adjustments be needed? Explain.

3. It has been suggested that the surface melting of ices plays a role in enabling
speed skaters to achieve peak performance. Carry out the following calculation to
test this hypothesis. At 1 atm pressure, ice melts at 273.15 K, AH fusion=6010 J
mol-¹, the density of ice is 920 kg m-³, and the density of water is 997 kg m-³.
A. What pressure is required to lower the melting point by 4 °C?
B.
Assume that the width of the skate in contact with the ice has been reduced
by sharpening to 19x10-³ cm, and the length of the contact area is 18 cm. If
a skater of mass 78 kg is balanced on one skate, what pressure is exerted at
the interface of the skate and the ice?
C.
What is the melting point of ice under this pressure?
D. If the temperature of the ice is -4°C, do you expect melting of the ice at the
ice-skate interface occur?
Weight of the ozone layer
1.0p 1 Incredibly, the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere that protects us from the ultraviolet rays of the Sun
varies somewhat but, on the average, would be less than one centimeter thick if it were brought down to
sea level. Given that the density of ozone at sea level would be about 2.0 grams per litre, what is the total
amount of ozone (in Tonnes) in the upper atmosphere when its sea-level thickness is 0.22 cm? Take the
radius of the Earth to be 6400 km.
(The volume of a thin skin around an object is the surface area of the object times the skin thickness.) Give
