An air pump has a cylinder 0.250 m long with a movable piston. The pump is used to compress air from the atmosphere (at absolute pressure 1.01 * 105 Pa) into a very large tank at 3.80 * 105 Pa gauge pressure. (For air, CV = 20.8 J>mol # K.) (a) The piston begins the compression stroke at the open end of the cylinder. How far down the length of the cylinder has the piston moved when air first begins to flow from the cylinder into the tank? Assume that the compression is adiabatic. (b) If the air is taken into the pump at 27.0掳C, what is the temperature of the compressed air? (c) How much work does the pump do in putting 20.0 mol of air into the tank?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) the length of the cylinder that the piston moved when air first begins to flow from the cylinder into the tank is 0.168m

(b) The temperature of the compressed air is 196鈩.

(c) The work pump does in putting 20.0 mol of air into the tank is -70.1kJ.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1

Cylinder with initial pressure equals to atmospheric pressure1.01105Pa

The length of cylinderL1 = 0.250m

A piston compresses air to fill tank with pressure =3.8105Pa

Cvof the air = 20.8 kJ/mol.

02

Step 2

(a)the length of the cylinder that the piston has moved.

The final pressure p2act on the air will be,

p2= pressure of tank + pressure of air

=3.8105Pa+1.01105Pa=4.81105Pa

Calculate final length of the air L2then calculate moved distance by L1-L2

The final and initial state of pressure and volume is given as,

p1v1y=p2v2y鈥︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹︹. (1)

纬 is ratio of molar heat capacity

=CPCV=CV+RCV=1+RCV=1.40

CVis given as 20.8J/mol

R is gas constant =8.314J/mol

Volume of cylinder=area of base x length

So,

p1=AL1y=p2AL2yp1L1y=p2AL2yL2L1y=p1p2

Solve for

L2=L1p1p21y 鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌.(2)

Put all the values in equation (2)

Thus,

L2=0.250m1.01105Pa4.81105Pa11.40L2=0.082m

Therefore,

L1L2=0.250m-0.082m=0.168m

Thus, the length of the cylinder that the piston moves when air first begins to flow from the cylinder into the tank is 0.168m.

Step 3

(b)the temperature of the compressed air

Initial temperature T1=27.0C

To find final temperature T2When it is compressed the final and initial state of temperature and volume are used for adiabatic processes.

So,

T1V11=T2V21T1A11=T2AL21T1L11=T2L21T2=T1L1L21.................................................................3

Put all the values in equation 3

T2=3000.250m0.082m1.401T2=468K=196C0

Thus, the temperature of the compressed air is 196鈩.

04

Step 4:

(c)The work pump does by putting 20.0 mol of air into the tank.

Take number of moles of air n=20.0mol and according to first law of thermodynamics,

W=QU

In adiabatic process Q=0

W=0UW=UW=nCVTW=nCVT2T1.(4)

Put all the values in equation 4

W=nCVT2T1W=20.020.8(468300)=70.1kJ

Thus, the work pump does in putting 20.0 mol of air into the tank is -70.1kJ.

You hold an inflated balloon over a hot-air vent in your house and watch it slowly expand. You then remove it and let it cool back to room temperature. During the expansion, which was larger: the heat added to the balloon or the work done by the air inside it? Explain. (Assume that air is an ideal gas.) Once the balloon has returned to room temperature, how does the net heat gained or lost by the air inside it compare to the net work done on or by the surrounding air?

A rigid, perfectly insulated container has a membrane dividing its volume in half. One side contains a gas at an absolute temperature and pressure , while the other half is completely empty. Suddenly a small hole develops in the membrane, allowing the gas to leak out into the other half until it eventually occupies twice its original volume. In terms of and , what will be the new temperature and pressure of the gas when it is distributed equally in both halves of the container? Explain your reasoning.

The proportions of various gases in the earth鈥檚 atmosphere change somewhat with altitude. Would you expect the proportion of oxygen at high altitude to be greater or less than at sea level compared to the proportion of nitrogen? Why?

The gas used in separating the two uranium isotopesU235andU238have the formulaUF6. If you added heat at equal rates to a mole ofUF6gas and a mole ofH2gas, which one鈥檚 temperature would you expect to rise faster? Explain.

Some critics of biological evolution claim that it violates the second law of thermodynamics, since evolution involves simple life forms developing into more complex and more highly ordered organisms. Explain why this is not a valid argument against evolution.
