A cylinder 1.00 m tall with inside diameter of 0.120 m is used to hold acetylene gas (molecular mass 26.04 g/mol) for welding. It is initially filled with gas until the gauge pressure is 1.30 x 10° Pa and the temperature is 22.0°C. The temperature of the gas remains constant as it is partially emptied out of the tank, until the gauge pressure is 2.00 x 10° Pa. Calculate the mass of acetylene that has been used.

A metallic container of fixed volume of 2.5103 m3 immersed in a large tank of temperature 27 contains two compartments separated by a freely movable wall. Initially, the wall is kept in place by a stopper so that there are 0.02 mol of the nitrogen gas on one side and 0.03 mol of the oxygen gas on the other side, each occupying half the volume. When the stopper is removed, the wall moves and comes to a final position. The movement of the wall is controlled so that the wall moves in infinitesimal quasi-static steps.
