Question: ( 3 points ) An insulated 8 . 2 m 3 rigid tank contains air initially at 3 1 5 K and 1 7 5

(3 points)
An insulated 8.2m3 rigid tank contains air initially at 315 K and 175 kPa . A 27 heater running off a constant 118 V power source is used to heat the air. The heater
is turned on long enough for the pressure to increase to 350 kPa .
a) How much boundary work is done?
kJ
b) How long must the heater remain on (accounting for the fact that the specific heat is not constant)?
minutes
c) How long must the heater remain on assuming the specific heat is constant at a value taken from 300 K ?
minutes
