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

it takes about 30 days for it to break down

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
