Answer:
a) final pressure inside the tank is 242.4 atm
b)
Work = 0
heat q = 1440.85 kJ
DU = 1440.85 kJ
Explanation:
Given that;
Pressure P1 = 172 atm
Volume V = 80 L
Temperature T1 = 20°C = ( 273.15 + 20) = 293.15 K
Temperature T2 = 140°C = ( 273.15 + 140) = 413.15 K
we know that, gas constant R = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K
from the Ideal Gas equation;
pV = nRT1
n = pV/RT1
we substitute
n = (172 × 80) / (0.0821 × 293.15)
n = 13760 / 24.067615
n = 571.72 moles
now
P2 = nRT2/V2
P2 = (571.72 × 0.0821 × 413.15) / 80
P2 = 19392.5222 / 80
P2 = 242.4 atm
Therefore, final pressure inside the tank is 242.4 atm
b)
we know
w = -∫[tex]P_{ext}[/tex] dv
now, since there is no change in volume; dv = 0
so
w = 0
Work = 0
dU = cVDT
Cv = nCr,m
Cv = 571.72 × 21.0
Cv = 12007.12 J/k
DU = CvΔT
DU = 12007.12 × (413.15 - 293.15)
DU = 1440854.4 J
DU = 1440.85 kJ
DU = q + w
1440.85 = q + 0
heat q = 1440.85 kJ
