A rigid tank whose volume is unknown is divided into two compartments by a partition. One side of the
tank contains an ideal gas at 927C and an unknown pressure. The other compartment is initially evacuated
and has a volume twice the size of the compartment with the ideal gas. The partition is now removed, and
the ideal gas expands to fill the entire tank. Heat is lost to the surroundings until the entire tank comes into
thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, which are at 27C, and a gage pressure of 212.96 kPa . Assuming
ideal gas behavior, determine the initial: a) absolute pressure ( kPA); b) specific volume (m^3/kg); and c) if the ideal gas assumption is appropriate (T/F and why).
