A rigid tank contains 2 kg of an ideal gas at 4 atm and 40 C. Now a valve is opened, and half of the mass of the gas is allowed to escape. if the final pressure in the tank is 2.2 atm. The final temperature in the tank is: Hint: make sure you convert the units of temperature and pressure to the proper units

Final Temperature = 71 °C

Explanation:

In this case, the ideal gas equation is written as;

PV = mRT

Where;

P is pressure

V is volume

m is mass

R is gas constant

T is temperature

We will take the volume to be constant.

So, in the initial state, we have;

P1•V = m1•R•T1 - - - eq(1)

In the final state, we have;

P2•V = m2•R•T2 - - - - eq(2)

Combining eq (1) and eq(2),we have;

P1•m2•R•T2 = P2•m1•R•T1

Dividing both sides by R gives;

P1•m2•T2 = P2•m1•T1

Making T2 the subject gives;

T2 = (P2•m1•T1)/(P1•m2)

Now, we are given;

m1 = 2kg

m2 = ½*2 = 1kg

P1 = 4 atm

P2 = 2.2 atm

T1 = 40°C = 273 + 40 K = 313K

Plugging in this values into the T2 equation, we have;

T2 = (2.2 × 2 × 313)/(4 × 1)

T2 = 344 K

Converting to °C, we have;

T2 = 344 - 273 = 71 °C

b) phosphorus pentoxide

the temperature and the pressure affect solubility. temperature affects by changing the properties of the solvent. the increase in pressure increases solubility, the decrease in pressure decreases solubility.
