2. ConcepTest 13.1 Degrees 1) one Celsius degree 2) one Kelvin degree
3) one Fahrenheit degree
4) both one Celsius degree and one Kelvin degree
5) both one Fahrenheit degree and one Celsius degree
1) Which is the largest unit: one Celsius degree, one Kelvin degree, or one Fahrenheit degree?

3. ConcepTest 13.2 Freezing Cold
1) yes, at 0 °C
2) yes, at -273 °C
3) yes, at 0 K
4) no
2) It turns out that – 40°C is the same temperature as – 40°F. Is there a temperature at which the Kelvin and Celsius scales agree?

4. ConcepTest 13.3 Thermometers
1) the mercury contracts before the glass contracts
2) the glass contracts before the mercury contracts
3) the mercury contracts before the glass expands
4) the glass expands before the mercury expands
5) the mercury expands before the glass contracts
3) You may notice that if a mercury-in-glass thermometer is inserted into a hot liquid, the mercury column first drops, and then later starts to rise (as you expect). How do you explain this drop?

5. ConcepTest 13.4 Glasses
1) run hot water over them both
2) put hot water in the inner one
3) run hot water over the outer one
4) run cold water over them both
5) break the glasses
4) Two drinking glasses are stuck, one inside the other. How would you get them unstuck?

6. ConcepTest 13.5a Steel Expansion I
5) A steel tape measure is marked such that it gives accurate length measurements at room temperature. If the tape measure is used outside on a very hot day, how will its length measurements be affected?
1) measured lengths will be too small
2) measured lengths will still be accurate
3) measured lengths will be too big

7. ConcepTest 13.5b Steel Expansion II
6) Metals such as brass expand when heated. The thin brass plate in the movie has a circular hole in its center. When the plate is heated, what will happen to the hole?
1) gets larger
2) gets smaller
3) stays the same
4) vanishes

8. ConcepTest 13.6a Steel Ring I
7) A steel ring stands on edge with a rod of some material inside. As this system is heated, for which of the following rod materials will the rod eventually touch the top of the ring?
1) aluminum
2) steel
3) glass
4) aluminum and steel
5) all three

9. ConcepTest 13.6b Steel Ring II
8) You want to take apart a couple of aluminum parts held together by steel screws, but the screws are stuck. What should you do?
1) heat the thing up
2) cool the thing down
3) blow the thing up

10. ConcepTest 13.7 Grandfather Clock
9) A grandfather clock uses a brass pendulum to keep perfect time at room temperature. If the air conditioning breaks down on a very hot summer day, how will the grandfather clock be affected?
1) clock will run slower than usual
2) clock will still keep perfect time
3) clock will run faster than usual

11. ConcepTest 13.8a Nitrogen and Oxygen I
10) Which has more molecules – a mole of nitrogen (N2) gas or a mole of oxygen (O2) gas?
1) oxygen
2) nitrogen
3) both the same

12. ConcepTest 13.8b Nitrogen and Oxygen II
11) Which weighs more – a mole of nitrogen (N2) gas or a mole of oxygen (O2) gas?
1) oxygen
2) nitrogen
3) both the same

13. ConcepTest 13.9a Ideal Gas Law I
12) Two identical cylinders at the same temperature contain the same gas. If A contains three times as much gas as B, which cylinder has the higher pressure?
1) cylinder A
2) cylinder B
3) both the same
4) it depends on temp. T

14. ConcepTest 13.9b Ideal Gas Law II
13) Two identical cylinders at the same pressure contain the same gas. If A contains three times as much gas as B, which cylinder has the higher temperature?
1) cylinder A
2) cylinder B
3) both the same
4) it depends on the pressure P

15. ConcepTest 13.9c Ideal Gas Law III
14) Two identical cylinders at the same temperature contain the same gas. If B has twice the volume and half the number of moles as A, how does the pressure in B compare with the pressure in A?
1) PB = 1/2 PA
2) PB = 2 PA
3) PB = 1/4 PA
4) PB = 4 PA
4) PB = PA

16. ConcepTest 13.10 Soda Bottle
15) A plastic soda bottle is empty and sits out in the sun, heating the air inside. Now you put the cap on tightly and put the bottle in the fridge. What happens to the bottle as it cools?
1) it expands and may burst
2) it does not change
3) it contracts and the sides collapse inward
4) it is too dark in the fridge to tell
