Question

A rigid and insulated tank of 3m3 volume is divided into two compartments. One compartment of volume of 2m3 contains an ideal gas at 5 MPa and 400 K and while the second compartment of volume 1 m3 contains the same gas at 50 MPa and 500 K. If the partition between the two compartments is ruptured, the final temperature of the gas is:

A
422.8 K

Solution

The correct option is D 492.3 K
Mole of the gas in the first compartment
n1=P1V1RT1=5×106×225/3×400=3000
n2=50×106×225/3×500=24000
The tank is rigid and insulated hence w = 0
and q = 0 therefore ΔU=0
Let Tf and Pf denote the final temperature and pressure respectively ΔU=n1Cv,m[TfT1]+n2Cv,m[TfT2]
=0
2000 (Tf400)+24000(Tf500)=0
Tf=492.3 K
