Methyl tert-butyl ether or MTBE is an oc- tane booster for gasoline. The combustion of 0.9211 grams of MTBE (C5H12O(l), 88.15 g/mol) is carried out in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter's hardware has a heat capac- ity of 1.540 kJ/°C and is filled with exactly 2.022 L of water. The initial temperature was 26.336°C. After the combustion, the temper- ature was 29.849°C. Analyze this calorimeter data and determine the molar internal energy of combustion (AU) for this octane booster.

A 2-m3 rigid vessel contains helium initially at a gage pressure and temperature of 320 kPa and 315 K respectively. Because of the leaks in the fittings of the vessel, the gage pressure dropped to 280 kPa and the temperature decreased to 300 K, determine the mass of the helium that leaked out and also the mass of nitrogen that remained in the vessel. (Ans. 0.06399 kg, 1.2240 kg)
A throttling steam calorimeter is an instrument used for the determination of the quality of wet steam flowing in a steam main line. It utilizes the fact that when wet steam is throttled sufficiently, superheated steam will form. If wet steam at 200 psia is throttled in a calorimeter to 15 psia and 300 oF, determine the quality of the wet steam.
