Answer #2

First, let us convert all the values into SI units.

Pressure, P = 3500 lbf/in2 = 241.3 bar = 241.3 x 105 N/m2

Volume, V = 8.6 ft3 = 0.244 m3

5.36 lbmol = 2431.26 mol

Universal Gas Constant, R = 8.314 J/K/mol

We know that,

PV = nRT,

putting values and solving for T, we have,

T = [(241.3 x 105)x0.244]/[8.314 x 2431.26] = 291.26K

Now converting unit into degree Rankine, we have T = 524.28°R

Ideal gas temp = 273K = 491.4°R

Calculating % error = (524.28 - 491.4)/491.4 x 100 = 6.72% error. Ans.

The molar heat capacity for carbon monoxide at constant volume is CV,m = 20.17 J/(K·mol). A 13.00-L fixed-volume flask contains CO(g) at a pressure of 3.00 kPa and a temperature of 25.0 °C. Assuming that carbon monoxide acts as an ideal gas and that its heat capacity is constant over the given temperature range, calculate the change in entropy for the gas when it is heated to 800.0 °C.

A Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher initially contains 5.5lbm of CO2 gas. In “real life” the CO2 would not be all gas, but for this problem assume that it is. The CO2 gas has an initial pressure of 860psia and initial temperature of +72oF. Immediately after putting out a fire, it has a final pressure of 100psia and a final temperature of -30oF. Assume ideal gas law behavior. a) Show that the specific gas constant for CO2 gas is approximately R=1131ft∙lbf/(slug∙R)....
