A cook puts 1.70 g of water in a 2.00 L pressure cooker that is then warmed from the kitchen temperature of 20°C to 105°C. What is the pressure (in atm) inside the container? atm What If? If the gauge pressure inside the container cannot exceed 3.00 atm, what is the maximum amount of water (in g) that the cook can put inside the pressure cooker before warming it to 105°C?

Expert Solution
Part (A)

1.7 grams of water will occupy very less volume in comparison with the volume of the container.

So ,initially  the cooker will have 1.7 grams of water and atmospheric air. 

Initial pressure of air will be same as atmospheric pressure. (101.325 kPa) .

At 105 C , water will be in vapor form.

Since both air and water are in gas from at 105 C , Volume occupied by Water Vapor and Volume occupied by air will be same as volume of the container.

Initial Volume of air and Final Volume of air will be same as volume of the cooker.

 

For air,P1V1T1=P2V2T2For air initial volume and final volume are same , V1=V2P1T1=P2T2P2=P1×T2T1P2=101.325×(105+273)(20+273)=130.72 kPaPartial pressure of air at 1050C , Pa =130.72Partial Pressure of Water Vapor at 1050C ,mass of water m =1.7 g = 1.7×10-3 kgVolume of water vapor at 1050C = Volume of Cooker = 2 L =2×10-3  m3PV=mRTP =mRTVP = (1.7×10-3 )(8.31418)(105+273)2×10-3=148.4 kPaPartial pressure due to water vapor Pv =148.4 kPaTotal Pressure P =Pa+Pv = 130.72+148.4P =279.12 kPaP =279.12101.325 =2.75 atm
