Question: Problem 2 : Consider a piston - cylinder assembly filled with 3 4 . 5 mol of a gas ( which has a critical pressure

Problem 2: Consider a piston-cylinder assembly filled with 34.5 mol of a gas (which has a
critical pressure of 3770 kPa and critical temperature of 133 K ) with an initial temperature of
26.85C, and an initial pressure of 101.3 kPa (state 1). The gas is then compressed to a final
volume of 0.4m3(state 2). For parts (i) and (ii), use the ideal gas model. Use R=8.3145Jmol
K. Find:
(i) The final temperature, in C, rounded to the nearest two decimal places, if
compression occurs at constant pressure (call this state 2 A )
(ii) The final pressure, in kPa , rounded to the nearest one decimal place, if compression
occurs at constant temperature (call this State 2B)
(iii) The reduced pressure for state 1, rounded to the nearest two decimal places
(iv) The reduced temperature for state 1, rounded to the nearest two decimal places
(v) Based on the reduced pressure and temperature you found in parts (iii) and (iv), label
state 1 on the compressibility factor chart (provided in the Schematic and Given Data
section); an approximate point is fine
(vi) Based on the compressibility factor from the chart, is the ideal gas model valid?
(vii) Draw the process from part (i) and the process from part (ii) on a P-V diagram (add
this to the Schematic and Given Data section).
