Question
Two thermally insulated vessels are connected by a narrow tube lined with a valve that is initially closed as shown in Figure P20.15. One vessel of volume 16.8 L contains oxygen at a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1.75 atm. The other vessel of volume 22.4 L contains oxygen at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 2.25 atm. When the valve is opened, the gases in the two vessels mix and the temperature and pressure become uniform throughout, (a) What is the final temperature? (b) What is the final pressure?

- Two small containers, each with a volume of 125 cm3 contain helium gas at 17 ⁰F and 1.00 atm pressure. The two containers are joined by a small open tube of negligible volume allowing gas to flow from one container to the other. What common pressure will exist in the two containers if the temperature of one container is raised to 120 °F while the other container is kept at 17 °F?arrow_forwardIncandescent lightbulbs are filled with an inert gas to lengthen the filament life. With the current off ( at T = 20.0 degrees Celsius ), the gas inside a lightbulb has a pressure of 113 kPa. When the bulb is burning, the temperature rises to 89.4 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure at the higher temperature?arrow_forwardIf mercury overflows, it’ll trigger an alarm in the lab. The teacher wants to keep the lab at exactly 16.37 ◦C. While the mercury alarm is in place. How long would a person of average body size (surface area of about 1.8 m2 and normal body temperature of 37◦C) have to spend in the lab which holds 2700 moles of air to trigger the mercury alarm? Side note: The maximum temperature the lab can heat the system to (to the thousandth of a degree Celsius) before the mercury overflows is 16.37◦C.
