R-134a is a refrigerant, which is used inside of refrigerators and air conditioners. You can buy canisters of this as a compressed liquid, which can be used to recharge a leaky air conditioner. The canister initially contains 0.539 kg of R-134a at room temperature (25 °C). For simplicity, let's assume that the R-134a is initially saturated liquid. You use this canister to recharge an air conditioner, until the canister has half of its original mass remaining. The canister is upright with the exit on the top of the canister, so the exit flow is saturated vapor. In order to maintain the temperature at 25 °C, how much heat must be supplied to the canister? Note that this is why compressed liquid/gas canisters feel cold when you use them – they require heat input to maintain constant T.

Properties of Pure Substances

A substance with fixed chemical composition throughout is called a pure substance like water, air, and nitrogen. A pure substance does not have to be a single element or compound. A mixture of two or more phases of a pure substance is also a pure substance as long as the chemical composition is the same for all phases. These substances mainly have a constant/ uniform composition. The substances also have fixed boiling and melting points. A pure substance takes part in a chemical reaction to form predictable products.

R-134a is a refrigerant, which is used inside of refrigerators and air conditioners.
You can buy canisters of this as a compressed liquid, which can be used to recharge

of its original mass remaining. The canister is upright with the exit on the top of the
canister, so the exit flow is saturated vapor. In order to maintain the temperature at
25 °C, how much heat must be supplied to the canister? Note that this is why

2) Two glass bulbs, one on the left with a volume of 2 liters and the other on the right with avolume of 6 liters, are connected to one another by a thin tube that is initially closed by astopcock. The bulb on the left has 0.1 moles of ideal gas, and the bulb on the right isevacuated. The system is in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at 300K. When thestopcock is opened, the gas flows out to fill both bulbs. Calculate A for this process. If wewere to insert a propeller to extract work as the gas flows from left to right, what is themaximum amount of work that we could possibly extract?
