Question
Question 1
Helium gas is contained in a cylinder by a gas-tight piston which can be
assumed to move without friction. The gas occupies a volume of 1 x 10^-3m^3 temperature of 300K and a pressure of 1 x 10^5 Pa.
(a) Calculate :
i.the number of helium atoms in the container,
ii.the total KE of the helium atoms
(b) Energy is now supplied to the gas in such a way that the gas expands and
the temperature remains constant at 300K. State, and explain what changes, if any, will have occurred in the following quantities :
i. The internal energy of the gas
ii. The root-mean-square speed of the helium atoms
iii. The density of the gas.
(Given : Boltzmann's constant = 1.38 x 10^23 JK^-1)

- Q2. Consider a piston-cylinder device that contains liquid water at 1 MPa and 150 °C. The weights on top of the piston are removed one by one so that the pressure inside the cylinder decreases gradually (Fig. 3–18). Draw a property diagram that shows all the water states including phase change processes, which will go from compressed liquid to super-heated vapor while keeping the temperature constant in the system.

Suppose a perfectly rigid scuba tank with a volume of 11.0 L contains heliox at an absolute pressure of 2.20 x 107 Pa at a temperature of 30.0°C. (a) How many moles of helium and how many moles of oxygen are in the tank? 75.9 mol mol helium noxygen + 20.2 (b) The diver goes down to a point where the sea temperature is 26.0°C while using a negligible amount of the mixture. As the gas in the tank reaches this new temperature, how much heat is removed from it (in kJ)? 5.5e+03 X kJarrow_forward

THANK YOUarrow_forwardA child takes a helium balloon on a plane from Denver (with an air pressure of 0.83 atm) on a cool day when the temperature is 20.0oC to Boston (at sea level, with an air pressure of 1.0 atm) where the temperature is 5.0oC. Assume that no gas escapes from the balloon during the flight. What is the volume of the balloon in Boston, relative to its size in Denver? Group of answer choices The volume in Boston is 0.79 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.20 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.87 times the volume in Denver The volume in Boston is 1.3 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is the same as the volume in Denver.arrow_forwardThe value of stress concentration factor depends on the geometry.
