An empty cylindrical canister 1.50 m long and 90.0 cm in diameter is to be filled with pure oxygen at 22.0°C to store in a space station. To hold as much gas as possible, the absolute pressure of the oxygen will be 21.0 atm. The molar mass of oxygen is 32.0 g>mol. (a) How many moles of oxygen does this canister hold? (b) For someone lifting this canister, by how many kilograms does this gas increase the mass to be lifted?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Moles of oxygen contained in the canister are 827 mol.

(b) 26.5 Kg of mass increased.

Step by step solution

01

(a) No. of moles of Oxygen in the canister

Given data:

Temp(T)=295K,Length(L)=1.5m,Pressure(P)=21atmMolarMass(M)=32g/mol,Radius(r)=0.45m

Calculating the volumeof the cylinder for the volume of the oxygen

V=πr2L=π×(0.45)2×1.5=0.953m3

For the calculation of no. of moles(n)present in the cylinder,Ideal Gas Equation is applied

Here, Gas constant (R) = 8.315 J/mol

Pressure is in the Pascal unit therefore it is multiplied by 1.013×105Pa/atm

localid="1668399953184" P.V=n.R.Tn=PVRT=21atm×1.013×105Pa/atm×0.953m38.315J/mol×295K=827mol

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen present in the canister is 827 mol

02

(b) Increase in mass due to gas present in the canister

Mass of oxygen (m) present in the canister

m=n.M=827×32×10−3kg/mol=26.5kg

Hence, 26.5 kg of mass is increased due to the presence of oxygen in the canister.

A thirsty nurse cools a 200 - Lbottle of a soft drink (mostly water) by pouring it into a large aluminum mug of mass 0.275 kgand adding 0.120 kgof ice initially at-15.0°C. If the soft drink and mug are initially at20.0°C, what is the final temperature of the system, assuming that no heat is lost?

A heat engine takes 0.350 mol of a diatomic ideal gas around the cycle shown in the pV-diagram of Fig. P20.36. Process \({\bf{1}} \to {\bf{2}}\) is at constant volume, process \({\bf{2}} \to {\bf{3}}\) is adiabatic, and process \({\bf{3}} \to {\bf{1}}\) is at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm. The value of \(\gamma \) for this gas is 1.40. (a) Find the pressure and volume at points 1, 2, and 3. (b) Calculate Q, W, and ∆U for each of the three processes. (c) Find the net work done by the gas in the cycle. (d) Find the net heat flow into the engine in one cycle. (e) What is the thermal efficiency of the engine? How does this compare to the efficiency of a Carnot-cycle engine operating between the same minimum and maximum temperatures T1 and T2?
