A pipe fitted with a closed valve connects two tanks. One tank contains a 5-kg mixture of 62.5 percent CO2 and 37.5 percent O2 on a mole basis at 30°C and 125 kPa. The second tank contains 10 kg of N2 at 15°C and 200 kPa. The valve in the pipe is opened and the gases are allowed to mix. During the mixing process 100 kJ of heat energy is supplied to the combined tanks. Determine the final pressure and temperature of the mixture and the total volume of the mixture.
