Question

Problem 27E

0.10 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 50 cm3 container at 20°C. The gas then undergoes heating at constant volume to a temperature of 300°C.

a. What is the final pressure of the gas?

b. Show the process on a pV diagram. Include a proper scale on both axes.

Solution

Step 1 of 3

a.)

We have to find the final pressure of the argon gas in a container.

The initial pressure of \(0.10 \mathrm{~mol}\) of argon gas in a \(50 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) container at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) can be found using ideal gas law.

\(p_{1} V_{1}=n R T_{1}\)

\(p_{1}=\frac{n R T_{1}}{V_{1}}\)

Where,

\(n\) = 0.10

\(V_{1}=50 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}=50 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)

\(T_{1}=20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=20+273=293 \mathrm{~K}\)

\(R=8.31 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K}\)

Thus,

\(p_{1}=\frac{(0.6)(8.31)(293)}{50 \times 10^{-6}}\)

\(=4870 \mathrm{kPa}\)

\(\approx 4900 \mathrm{kPa}\)
