*10.107 In a diesel engine, the fuel is ignited when it is injected into hot compressed air, heated by the compression itself. In a typical high-speed diesel engine, the chamber in the cylinder has a diameter of 10.7 cm and a length of 13.4 cm. On compression, the length of the chamber is shortened by 12.7 cm (a “5-inch stroke”). The compression of the air changes its pressure from 1.00 to 34.0 atm. The temperature of the air before compression is 364 K. As a result of the compression, what will be the final air temperature (in K and

- 97 Homes in rural areas where natural gas service is not available often rely on propane to fuel kitchen ranges. The propane is stored as a liquid, and the gas to be burned is produced as the liquid evaporates. Suppose an architect has hired you to consult on the choice of a propane tank for such a new home. The propane gas consumed in 1.0 hour by a typical range burner at high power would occupy roughly 165 L at 25°C and 1.0 atm, and the range chosen by the client will have six burners. If the tank under consideration holds 500.0 gallons of liquid propane, what is the minimum number of hours it would take for the range to consume an entire tankful of propane? The density of liquid propane is 0.5077 kg/L.arrow_forwardUnder what conditions does the behavior of a real gas begin to differ significantly from the ideal gas law?arrow_forwardThe compression ratio in an automobile engine is the ratio of the gas pressure at the end of the compression stroke to the pressure in the beginning. Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?arrow_forward
- Urea (H2NCONH2) is used extensively as a nitrogen source in fertilizers. It is produced commercially from the reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide: 2NH3(g)+CO2(g)PressureHeatH2NCONH2(s)+H2O(g) Ammonia gas at 223C and 90. atm flows into a reactor at a rate of 500. L/min. Carbon dioxide at 223C and 45 atm flows into the reactor at a rate of 600. L/min. What mass of urea is produced per minute by this reaction assuming 100% yield?arrow_forwardA four-liter tank is filled with propane gas, C3H8. The mass of the tank filled with gas is 1236 g. The pressure in the tank is 2.68 atm. The temperature in the room is 37C. The propane in the tank is used up under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the mass of the empty tank?arrow_forwardYou heat 1.000 quart of water from 25.0C to its normal boiling point by burning a quantity of methane gas, CH4. What volume of methane at 23.0C and 745 mmHg would you require to heat this quantity of water, assuming that the methane is completely burned? The products are liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide.arrow_forward

- Referring to exercises 1.6 and 1.7, does it matter if the pressure difference is caused by an ideal gas or a non-ideal gas? Explain your answer.arrow_forward5-107 If 60.0 g of NH3 occupies 35.1 L under a pressure of 77.2 in. Hg, what is the temperature of the gas, in °C?arrow_forwardConsider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor in a cylinder with a piston. The original volume is 40. cm3. If the combustion of this mixture releases 950. J of energy, to what volume will the gases expand against a constant pressure of 650. torr if all the energy of combustion is converted into work to push back the piston?arrow_forward
