Solution
Number of moles n = 9.22 mol
Temparture of the gas at point 1 is T = PV /nR
Where P = Pressure at point 1 = 3 atm = 3 x1.01 x10 5 Pa
V = Volume at point 1 = 1000 cm 3 = 1000 x10 -6 m 3
R = Gas cosnstant = 8.314 J / mol K
Substitute values you get , T = ( 3x1.01 x10 5)(10 -3 ) /(9.22 x8.314 )
= 3.952 K
Volume at point 2 is V \' = 3000 cm 3
Pressure at point 2 is P \' = 1 atm
Temprature at point 2 is T \' = T = 3.952 K
Pressure at final point P \" = P = 3 atm
Temprature at final point T \" = ?
At constant volume , T \" / T \' = P \" / P \'
T \" = T \' ( P \" / P \')
= 3.952 ( 3 atm / 1 atm )
= 3.952 ( 3)
= 11.85 K
Relation between kelvin scale (K) and Fahrenheit scale (F ) is
(K-273)/(373-272) = (F-32) /(212-32)
(K-273) /100 = (F-32) /180
F-32 = (180/100) (K-273)
= (9/5)(11.85 -273 ) reading in kelvin scale K = 11.85 K
=(9/5)(-261.15)
= -470
F = 32 -470
= -438 o F
