The process begins with p₁ = 25 lbf/in², V₁ = 13 ft³ and ends with p2 = 100 lbf/in². The value of n = 1.3.

The inner radius of the cylinder is r = 6cm, The top of the piston is open to atmospheric pressure. The entire system is initially in thermal equilibrium with the environment, which is at 20°C and the height of the piston h = 10cm. If the temperature of the gas inside then is raised to 100°C, what is the final height of the piston?

While the tank and gas maintain a constant volume and temperature, a number of moles are removed from the tank, reducing the pressure to 5.00 atm. How many moles are removed? B) What If? In a separate experiment beginning from the same initial conditions, including a temperature Ti of 25.0°C, half the number of moles found in part (a) are withdrawn while the temperature is allowed to vary and the pressure undergoes the same change from 28.0 atm to 5.00 atm. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the gas?arrow_forward
- On a chilly 10°C day, you quickly take a deep breath—all your lungs can hold, 4.0 L. The air warms to your body temperature of 37°C. If the air starts at a pressure of 1.0 atm, and you hold the volume of your lungs constant (a good approximation) and the number of molecules in your lungs stays constant aswell (also a good approximation), what is the increase in pressure inside your lungs?arrow_forward2.40 moles of an ideal gas is initially at 40.0 oC and 1.35 atm. a) What is its volume under these conditions?b) If it is then compressed to one third of its initial volume and its pressure increases to 2.0 atm, what, in Centigrade degrees, will be its temperature?arrow_forwardAn ideal diatomic gas undergoes an adiabatic compression during which time its volume changes from VA = 1300 cm3 to VB = 390 cm3.
