A hollow container is filled with an ideal gas. The container is designed to maintain a constant pressure by allowing gas to enter or leave as needed. at all times the gas and container are in thermal equilibrium. initially the temperature is 1078 K. then the temperature decreases to 200 K and the volume decreases to .88 times the initial volume. determine the coefficient of volume expansion for the container and the ratio of the final number of moles to the initial number of moles. Please include the units, and round to the fourth decimal point.

Consider one mole of a simple ideal gas enclosed in a cylindrical piston with rigid impermeable adiabatic walls. The piston has a cross sectional area ofA = 0.10 m^2 and the cylinder enclosing the gas has a height of h = 1.0 cm. The gas inside the piston has a temperature T = 300.K. Recall that the internal energy for an ideal gas is U= n cV,mT, where cV,m= 1.5 R is the molar heat capacity for the ideal gas. Calculate the pressure and the internal energy of the ideal gas.
You need to design a gas with a y (= Cp/Cv) value of 1.5. While no individual gas has this value, you could produce such a gas by mixing together a monatomic gas and a diatomic gas. What fraction or percentage of the molecules in the mixture needs to be monatomic? [Hint: for a monatomic gas Cv = (3/2)R and for a diamotic gas Cy (5/2) R.] =
