An insulated container contains two moles of an ideal gas at atmospheric pressure. Keeping the pressure constant, if the temperature of the gas is increased by 50 °C, then its volume increases by 400 cm3 and if the temperature is increased by 100 °C, then its volume increases by 600 cm³. Determine the initial volume and temperature of the gas. (Write the equation of ideal gas initially, after the temperature increase of 50 °C, and after increase of temperature by 100 °C. Combine these three equations to find the initial volume and temperature)

A sealed 99 m3 tank is filled with 6000 moles of ideal oxygen gas (diatomic) at an initial temperature of 270 K. The gas is heated to a final temperature of 320 K. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16.0 g/mol. The mass density of the oxygen gas, in Sl units, is closest to:
A gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 50 in² and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lb/in² on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases slowly by 2 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between the piston and cylinder can be neglected. Determine the work done by the gas on the piston, in Btu, and the change in internal energy of the gas, in Btu.
