Concept explainers
A metallic container of fixed volume of 2.5 × 10−3 m3 immersed in a large tank of temperature 27 °C 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 rigid tank contains an amount of nitrogen at a pressure of 12.2 atm and a temperature of 24.0°C. Two-thirds of the gas is withdrawn from the tank, while the temperature of the remainder is raised to 64.8°C. What is the new pressure (in atm) of the gas remaining in the tank? atm Need Help? Read Itarrow_forwardThe pressure gage on a 2.5-m³ oxygen tank reads 500 kPa. Determine the amount of oxygen in the tank if the temperature is 29°C and the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa. The gas constant of air is R = 0.2598 kPa.m³/kg-K. 0₂ V = 2.5 m³ T°C P₁ = 500 kPa The amount of oxygen in the tank is 2.68 kg.arrow_forward
