Randy is a Chemical Engineer working for Boeing, and is working on the ion propulsion system for Arman's New Horizon 2 mission to Charon, Pluto’s largest moon. The ion propulsion system stores 2 m³ of Krypton gas in a rigid tank at a pressure of 3 atmospheres (1 101,000 kPa). On Earth this gas is at room temperature, 68°F (20 °C). How much heat will the gas lose by the time it reaches the far side of the moon, where the temperature is -171 °C, just before the ion propulsion system is activate? atm

Randy is a Chemical Engineer working for Boeing, and is working on the ion propulsion
system for Arman's New Horizon 2 mission to Charon, Pluto's largest moon. The ion
propulsion system stores 2 m³ of Krypton gas in a rigid tank at a pressure of 3 atmospheres (1
atm = 101,000 kPa). On Earth this gas is at room temperature, 68°F (20 °C). How much
heat will the gas lose by the time it reaches the far side of the moon, where the temperature is
-171 °C, just before the ion propulsion system is activate?
