A cylinder is filled with 5 L of gas at initial pressure of 1 atm and initial temperature of 20 °C. The cylinder is capped by a piston, which is connected to a spring as shown in the figure. The spring is initially at its relaxed length (not compressed and not stretched); its spring constant is 2000 N/m. The piston has a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m² and negligible mass. The temperature of the gas is raised to 250 °C. a) Calculate the height h that the piston will rise to after it has reached mechanical equilibrium. b) Calculate the final pressure of the gas.

An airtight dispenser for drinking water is 25 cm × 10 cm in horizontal dimensions and 20 cm tall. It has a tap of negligible volume that opens at the level of the bottom of the dispenser. Initially, it contains Water to a level 3.0 cm from the top and air at the ambient pressure, 1.00 atm, from there to the top. When the tap is opened, water will flow out until the gauge pressure at the bottom of dispenser, and thus at the opening of the tap, is 0. What volume of water flows out? Assume the temperature is constant, the dispenser is perfectly rigid, and the water has a constant density of 1000 kg/m3.
A metallic container of fixed volume of 2.5103 m3 immersed in a large tank of temperature 27 contains two compartments separated by a freely movable wall. Initially, the wall is kept in place by a stopper so that there are 0.02 mol of the nitrogen gas on one side and 0.03 mol of the oxygen gas on the other side, each occupying half the volume. When the stopper is removed, the wall moves and comes to a final position. The movement of the wall is controlled so that the wall moves in infinitesimal quasi-static steps. (a) Find the final volumes of the two sides assuming the ideal gas behavior for the two gases. (b) How much work does each gas do on the other? (c) What is the change in the internal energy of each gas? (d) Find the amount of heat that enters or leaves each gas.

A vertical cylinder of cross-sectional area A is fitted with a tight-fitting, frictionless piston of mass m (Fig. P16.56). The piston is not restricted in its motion in any way and is supported by the gas at pressure P below it. Atmospheric pressure is P0. We wish to find die height h in Figure P16.56. (a) What analysis model is appropriate to describe the piston? (b) Write an appropriate force equation for the piston from this analysis model in terms of P, P0, m, A, and g. (c) Suppose n moles of an ideal gas are in the cylinder at a temperature of T. Substitute for P in your answer to part (b) to find the height h of the piston above the bottom of the cylinder.
(a) Given that air is 21% oxygen, find the minimum atmospheric pressure that gives a relatively safe partial pressure of oxygen of 0.16 atm. (b) What is the minimum pressure that gives a partial pressure of oxygen above the quickly fatal level of 0.06 atm? (c) The air pressure at the summit of Mount Everest (8848 m) is 0.334 atm. Why have a few people climbed it without oxygen, while some who have tried, even though they had trained at high elevation, had to tum back?
An ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable piston on top of it. The piston has a mass of 8 000 g and an area of 5.00 cm2 and is free to slide up and down, keeping the pressure of the gas constant. How much work is done on the gas as the temperature of 0.200 mol of the gas is raised from 20.0C to 300C?
A gas flows through a square conduit. At one point along the conduit, the conduit sides are 0.100 m. the velocity it 7.55 m/s, and the gas's mass density is (for its particular pressure and temperature) 1.09 kg/m3. At a second point, the conduit sides are 0.250 m, and the velocity is 2.02 m/s. Find the mass flow rate of the gas and its mass density at the second point.
A pneumatic lift consists of a vertical cylinder with aradius of 10.0 cm. A movable piston slides within the cylinder atits upper end and supports a platform on which loads are placed. Anintake valve allows compressed air from a tank to enter the cylinder,and an exhaust valve allows air to be removed from the cylinder. Ineither case the rate of air transfer is sufficiently low that the temperaturein the cylinder remains constant. When neither valve is activated,the cylinder is airtight. The piston and platform together have a massof 50.0 kg, the temperature is 20.0C, and the pressure outside thecylinder is 1.00 atm. A 200 kg load is placed on the platform. By what distance does the platform drop?

The volume of 1 kg of helium in a piston–cylinder device is initially 5 m3. Now helium is compressed to 2 m3 while its pressure is maintained constant at 180 kPa. Determine the initial and final temperatures of helium as well as the work required to compress it, in kJ.
When a .22-caliber rifle is fired, the expanding gas from the burning gunpowder creates a pressure behind the bullet. This pressure causes the force that pushes the bullet through the barrel. Suppose the barrel has a length of 0.557 m and an opening whose radius is 2.94 x 10-3 m. A bullet (mass = 2.6 x 10-3 kg) has a speed of 467 m/s after passing through this barrel. Ignore friction and determine the average pressure of the expanding gas.
