What is the final temperature of the gas in the wheel? (Take into account that the gas behaves ideally and the Cp value for air is 7 / 2R)arrow_forwardPhysical chemistry - please refer to pics Now, consider 2.0 moles of methane (CH4 ), initially at 273 K, that is reversibly and adiabatically compressed from an initial volume of 10.00 L to a final volume of 2.00 L. 3a.

It is expanded reversiblyand adiabatically until the volume has doubled; then it isexpanded irreversibly and isothermally into a vacuumuntil the volume has doubled again; and then it is heatedreversibly at constant volume to 400 K. Finally, it is compressed reversibly and isothermally until a inal state withP 5 1.00 atm and T 5 400 K is reached. Calculate DSsysfor this process.

A 2.50 mole sample of a perfect gas for which Cv,m = 3R/2 (assume constant over T-range) undergoes the following two-step process: (1) from an initial state of the gas described by T = 13 ºC and P = 1.75 x 105 Pa, the gas undergoes an isothermal expansion against a constant pressure of 3.75 x 104 Pa until the volume has doubled. (2) subsequently, the gas is cooled at constant volume. The temperature falls to -24ºC.

As a result of the reaction, the piston is pushed out through 25.0 cm against an external pressure of 150 kPa. Calculate the work done by the system.arrow_forwardConsider one mole of a simple ideal gas enclosed in a cylindrical piston with rigid impermeable adiabatic walls. The piston has a cross sectional area ofA = 0.10 m^2 and the cylinder enclosing the gas has a height of h = 1.0 cm. The gas inside the piston has a temperature T = 300.K. Recall that the internal energy for an ideal gas is U= n cV,mT, where cV,m= 1.5 R is the molar heat capacity for the ideal gas. mass m = 15.3E3kg is placed on the top of the piston, but that the piston top remains rigid. The external pressure applied is 1.5E6 Pa. The equilubrium volume for the gas is 1.6E-3 m^3. Suppose that the piston is now allowed to move within the cylinder, but that the walls remain adiabatic and impermeable so that no heat flows into the gas. The gas system will ultimately move to a new equilibrium state. We will now characterize the final equilibrium state and the changes resulting from the process. Define the (Total System) = (the gas enclosed in the cylinder) plus (the mass placed…arrow_forward
