Consider a fully adiabatic piston-cylinder arrangement as shown in the figure. The piston is massless and cross-sectional area of the cylinder is π΄. The fluid inside the cylinder is air (considered as a perfect gas), with Ξ³ being the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure to the specific heat at constant volume for air. The piston is initially located at a position πΏ1. The initial pressure of the air inside the cylinder is π1 β« π0, where π0 is the atmospheric pressure. The stop S1 is instantaneously removed and the piston moves to the position πΏ2, where the
equilibrium pressure of air inside the cylinder is π2 β« π0.
What is the work done by the piston on the atmosphere during this process?
Consider a mixture of two ideal gases, X and Y, with molar masses MΜ X = 10 kg/kmol and MΜ Y = 20 kg/kmol, respectively, in a container. The total pressure in the container is 100 kPa, the total volume of the container is 10 m3 and the temperature of the contents of the container is 300 K. If the mass of gas-X in the container is 2 kg, then the mass of gas-Y in the container is ____ kg. (Rounded off to one decimal place)
Assume that the universal gas constant is 8314 J kmol-1K-1.
