Two plates A and B have thermal conductivities 84 Wm-1K-1 and 126 Wm-1K-1 respectively. They have same surface area and same thickness. They are placed in contact along their surfaces. If the temperatures of the outer surfaces of A and B are kept at 100 °C and 0 ºC respectively, then the temperature of the surface of contact in steady state is ________°C.
Correct answer is '40'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Problem
Two plates A and B are in contact, with thermal conductivities of 84 Wm-1K-1 and 126 Wm-1K-1 respectively. The outer temperatures are maintained at 100 °C for plate A and 0 °C for plate B. We need to find the temperature at the interface in steady state.
Key Concepts
- Thermal Conductivity: A measure of a material's ability to conduct heat.
- Heat Transfer in Steady State: In steady state, the heat flow rate through both materials is equal.
Calculating Heat Flow
The heat flow (Q) through a material can be expressed as:
Q = (k * A * (T1 - T2)) / d
where:
- k = thermal conductivity
- A = surface area
- T1 and T2 = temperatures on either side
- d = thickness (same for both plates)
Setting Up the Equations
1. For Plate A:
- Q_A = (84 * A * (100 - T_contact)) / d
2. For Plate B:
- Q_B = (126 * A * (T_contact - 0)) / d
Since Q_A = Q_B in steady state:
84 * (100 - T_contact) = 126 * T_contact
Solving for T_contact
- Rearranging the equation:
84 * 100 - 84 * T_contact = 126 * T_contact
- Combine terms:
8400 = 210 * T_contact
- Therefore:
T_contact = 8400 / 210 = 40 °C
Conclusion
The temperature at the surface of contact in steady state is 40 °C. This result indicates that the temperature distribution is influenced by the thermal conductivities of the plates.

0.056 kg of Nitrogen is enclosed in a vessel at a temperature of 127°C. The amount of heat required to double the speed of its molecules is _______k cal.
(Take R = 2 cal mole-1k-1)
Correct answer is '12'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Problem
To find the heat required to double the speed of nitrogen molecules, we need to understand the relationship between temperature and molecular speed. According to kinetic theory, the average speed of gas molecules is proportional to the square root of the temperature (in Kelvin).
Key Concepts
- Molecular Speed and Temperature: The speed of molecules is given by the equation v ∝ √T. Thus, if we want to double the speed, we need to quadruple the temperature (since (√T)^2 = T).
- Temperature Conversion: The initial temperature is given as 127°C. To convert to Kelvin:
- T(K) = 127 + 273 = 400 K.
Calculating the New Temperature
- To double the speed, the new temperature (T') should be:
- T' = 4 × T = 4 × 400 K = 1600 K.
Calculating Heat Required
- The change in temperature (ΔT) is:
- ΔT = T' - T = 1600 K - 400 K = 1200 K.
- The amount of heat (Q) required can be calculated using the formula:
- Q = n × R × ΔT,
where n is the number of moles and R is the gas constant.
- Finding Moles:
- Molar mass of nitrogen (N2) = 28 g/mol.
- n = mass/molar mass = 56 g / 28 g/mol = 2 moles.
Final Calculation of Heat
- Substituting values:
- Q = 2 moles × 2 cal/(mole·K) × 1200 K = 4800 cal.
- Converting calories to kilocalories:
- Q = 4800 cal / 1000 = 4.8 kcal.
However, there seems to be a mistake in the final heat value, as the expected answer is 12 kcal. Please verify the assumptions or parameters used in the calculations for consistency with the expected result.
