A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = constant. The process begins with p1 = 25 lbf/in2, V1 = 15 ft3 and ends with p2 = 100 lbf/in2. The value of n = 1.3. Determine the final volume, V2, in ft3, and determine the specific volume at states 1 and 2, in ft3/lb.

A cylinder is filled with10.0Lof gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 268.kPa.The piston is now pushed down, compressing the gas, until the gas has a final volume of 8.70L. Calculate the final pressure of the gas. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
The ideal gas law describes the state of a hypothetical ideal gas, i.e., PV = nRT where P is the pressure in Pascal, V is the volume in liters L, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature in kelvin K, and n is the amount of substance. Suppose a researcher has n = 0.654 moles of neon gas. He observed that T and V are increasing at rates of 3 K/min and 2 L/min, respectively, using the fixed gas constant R= 8.31 J/K.mol, find the rate at which the pressure is changing when V = 12.3 L and T = 447K.

0.52 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 3.00 liter (3.00 × 10-3 m3) container at 20.0°C. The gas then undergoes an isobaric process to a temperature of 260°C. What is the final pressure of the gas, in atm? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
