Answer:
- the volume of the second tank is 1.77 m³
- the final equilibrium pressure of air is 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa
Explanation:
Given that;
[tex]V_{A}[/tex] = 1 m³
[tex]T_{A}[/tex] = 10°C = 283 K
[tex]P_{A}[/tex] = 350 kPa
[tex]m_{B}[/tex] = 3 kg
[tex]T_{B}[/tex] = 35°C = 308 K
[tex]P_{B}[/tex] = 150 kPa
Now, lets apply the ideal gas equation;
[tex]P_{B}[/tex] [tex]V_{B}[/tex] = [tex]m_{B}[/tex]R[tex]T_{B}[/tex]
[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = [tex]m_{B}[/tex]R[tex]T_{B}[/tex] / [tex]P_{B}[/tex]
The gas constant of air R = 0.287 kPa⋅m³/kg⋅K
we substitute
[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = ( 3 × 0.287 × 308) / 150
[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = 265.188 / 150
[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = 1.77 m³
Therefore, the volume of the second tank is 1.77 m³
Also, [tex]m_{A}[/tex] = [tex]P_{A}[/tex][tex]V_{A}[/tex] / R[tex]T_{A}[/tex] = (350 × 1)/(0.287 × 283) = 350 / 81.221
[tex]m_{A}[/tex] = 4.309 kg
Total mass, [tex]m_{f}[/tex] = [tex]m_{A}[/tex] + [tex]m_{B}[/tex] = 4.309 + 3 = 7.309 kg
Total volume [tex]V_{f}[/tex] = [tex]V_{A}[/tex] + [tex]V_{B}[/tex] = 1 + 1.77 = 2.77 m³
Now, from ideal gas equation;
[tex]P_{f}[/tex] = [tex]m_{f}[/tex]R[tex]T_{f}[/tex] / [tex]V_{f}[/tex]
given that; final temperature [tex]T_{f}[/tex] = 20°C = 293 K
we substitute
[tex]P_{f}[/tex] = ( 7.309 × 0.287 × 293) / 2.77
[tex]P_{f}[/tex] = 614.6211119 / 2.77
[tex]P_{f}[/tex] = 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa
Therefore, the final equilibrium pressure of air is 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa
