- A vertical cylinder of cross-sectional area A is fitted with a tight-fitting, frictionless piston of mass m (Fig. P16.56). The piston is not restricted in its motion in any way and is supported by the gas at pressure P below it. Atmospheric pressure is P0. We wish to find die height h in Figure P16.56. (a) What analysis model is appropriate to describe the piston? (b) Write an appropriate force equation for the piston from this analysis model in terms of P, P0, m, A, and g. (c) Suppose n moles of an ideal gas are in the cylinder at a temperature of T. Substitute for P in your answer to part (b) to find the height h of the piston above the bottom of the cylinder.arrow_forwardA cylinder with a piston holds 0.50 m3 of oxygen at an absolute pressure of 4.0 atm. The piston is pulled outward, increasing the volume of the gas until the pressure drops to 1.0 atm. If the temperature stays constant, what new volume does the gas occupy? (a) 1.0 m3 (b) 1.5 m3 (c) 2.0 m3 (d) 0.12 m3 (e) 2.5 m3arrow_forwardA gas is in a container of volume V0 at pressure P0. It is being pumped out of the container by a piston pump. Each stroke of the piston removes a volume Vs through valve A and then pushes the air out through valve B as shown in Figure P19.74. Derive an expression that relates the pressure Pn of the remaining gas to the number of strokes n that have been applied to the container. FIGURE P19.74arrow_forward

(e) Calculate the gas pressure using the ideal gas law (Eq. 10.8).arrow_forwardReview. This problem is a continuation of Problem 39 in Chapter 19. A hot-air balloon consists of an envelope of constant volume 400 m3. Not including tire air inside, the balloon and cargo have mass 200 kg. The air outside and originally inside is a diatomic ideal gas at 10.0C and 101 kPa, with density 1.25 kg/m3. A propane burner at the center of the spherical envelope injects energy into the air inside. The air inside stays at constant pressure. Hot air, at just the temperature required to make the balloon lift off, starts to fill the envelope at its closed top, rapidly enough so that negligible energy flows by heat to the cool air below it or out through the wall of the balloon. Air at 10C leaves through an opening at the bottom of the envelope until the whole balloon is filled with hot air at uniform temperature. Then the burner is shut off and the balloon rises from the ground. (a) Evaluate the quantity of energy the burner must transfer to the air in the balloon. (b) The heat value of propanethe internal energy released by burning each kilogramis 50.3 MJ/kg. What mass of propane must be burned?arrow_forwardA deep sea diver should breathe a gas mixture that has the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level, where dry air contains 20.9% oxygen and has a total pressure of 1.01 ✕ 105 N/m2. (a) What is the partial pressure (in N/m2) of oxygen at sea level? N/m2 (b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00 ✕ 106 N/m2, what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level? %arrow_forward
- Two containers are at the same temperature. The first contains gas with pressure p1, molecular mass m1, and rms speed vrms1. The second contains gas with pressure 2.0p1, molecular mass m2, and average speed vavg2 = 2.0vrms1. Find the mass ratio m1/m2.arrow_forwardUsing the ideal gas law equation of P=NkT/V, show that: a) a container of gas obeys Boyle's Law, which states that if the temperature of the gas is held constant, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its volume. b) a container of gas obeys Gay-Lussac's which states that, if the volume of a container is held constant, the pressure is proportional to its temperature. c) if the pressure is held constant, the temperature is related to volume. Draw a sketch showing how V varies as a function of T if P is held constant.arrow_forwardA gas flows through a square conduit. At one point along the conduit, the conduit sides are 0.100 m. the velocity it 7.55 m/s, and the gas's mass density is (for its particular pressure and temperature) 1.09 kg/m3. At a second point, the conduit sides are 0.250 m, and the velocity is 2.02 m/s. Find the mass flow rate of the gas and its mass density at the second point.arrow_forward
