A 0.5-m 3 rigid tank containing gas at 20oC and 600 kPa is connected by a pipe with a valve to another 0.5-m 3 rigid tank that holds the same type of gas at 30oC and 150 kPa. Now the valve is opened and the system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surrounding, which are at 15oC. Determine (a) the final pressure in the tank and (b) the total mass of the gas. Molecular weight of gas is 2 kg/kmol
