Question

2.4. (a) A block of copper at a pressure of 1 atm (approximately 100 kPa) and a temperature of 5°C is kept at constant volume. If the temperature is raised to 10°C, what will be the final pressure? (b) If the vessel holding the block of copper has negligibly small thermal expansivity and can withstand a maximum pressure of 1000 atm, what is the highest temperature to which the system may be raised? (Note: The volume expansivity β and isothermal compressibility κ are not always listed in handbooks of data. However, β is three times the linear expansion coefficient α, and κ is the reciprocal of the bulk modulus B. For this problem, assume that the volume expansivity and isothermal compressibility remain practically constant within the temperature range of 0 to 20°C at the values of 4.95 x 10^-5 K^-1 and 6.17 x 10^-12 Pa respectively.)
