Calculate the heat capacity of a gas sample from the following information: The sam- ple comes to equilibrium in a flask at 25°C and 121.3 kPa. A stopcock is opened briefly, allowing the pressure to drop to 101.3 kPa. With the stopcock closed, the flask warms, returning to 25°C, and the pressure is measured as 104.0 kPa. Determine Cp in J mol- K-l assuming the gas to be ideal and the expansion of the gas remaining in the flask to be reversible and adiabatic.

A cylinder is fitted with a freely movable piston of area 1.20e-2m^2 and negligible mass. The cylinder below the piston is filled with a gas. At state 1 the gas has volume 1.50e-3m^3, pressure 1.02e5Pa, and the cylinder is in contact with a water bath at a temperature of 0.0C. The gas is then taken through the following four step process. - A 2.50kg metal block is placed on top of the piston, compressing the gas to state 2, with the gas still at 0.0 C. - The cylinder is then brought in contact with a boiling water bath, raising the gas temperature to 100C at state 3. - The metal block is removed and the gas expands to state 4 still at 100C. - Finally, the cylinder is again placed in contact with the water bath at 0C, returning the system to state 1. a) Determine the pressure of the gas in state 2. b) Determine the volume of the gas in state 2. C) Determine the volume of the gas in state 4. Answer all parts, ABC
