Chapter 20, Problem 51EAP

A 100 c m 3 box contains helium at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 100°C. It is placed in thermal contact with a 200 c m 3 box containing argon at a pressure of 4.0 atm and a temperature of 400°FC.

  1. What is the initial thermal energy of each gas?
  2. What is the final thermal energy of each gas?
  3. How much heat energy is transferred, and in which direction?
  4. What is the final temperature?
  5. What is the final pressure in each box?

7. Containers A and B in the figure to the right hold the same gas. The volume of B is four times the volume of A. The two containers are connected by a thin tube (negligible volume) and a valve that is closed. The gas in A is at 300 K and pressure of 1.0 × 10³ Pa. The gas in B is at 400 K and pressure of 5.0 × 105 Pa. Heaters will maintain the temperatures of A and B even after the valve is opened A 300 K Valve B 400 K a) After the valve is opened, gas will flow one way or the other until A and B have equal pressure. What is the final pressure? b) Is this a reversible or an irreversible process? Explain..
Given that the gas pressure is 3500Pa and there are 4.8x10^20 gas molecules in the cylinder, answer the following: A.) Then 2.5 J of heat energy is transferred to the gas. What is the new equilibrium temperature of the gas in °C? B.) What is the final height of the piston? C.) How much work is done on the gas as the piston rises?
a.) An ideal gas is in a sealed container. By what factor does the gas temperature change if the volume is halved and the pressure is tripled? b.) An ideal gas is in a sealed container. By what factor does the gas temperature change if the volume is doubled and the pressure is tripled? c.) If you have two jars containing the same amount, n1=n2, and type of gas (for example, oxygen) and they are at the same temperature, T, what can you say about their pressure if the first jar has four times the volume of the second, V1 = 4V2?  Hint: use pV=nRT
