(18 points total) Pure Nitrogen gas is contained within a piston as shown to the right. The gas is initially at a pressure of 110,000Pa (absolute), a volume of 0.10m^(3), and a temperature of 900. K. The end of the piston has an area of 0.3m^(2).
k_(B)=1.38*10^(-23)(J)/(K),R=8.314(J)/(mol*K),m_(N_(2))=4.65*10^(-26)(kg)/( molecule )
(a) Determine the number of molecules present in the cylinder.
(b) Determine the rms speed at 900K
(c) Determine the gauge pressure in the cylinder ( 1atm=101,325Pa.
(d) How much force would be required to compress the cylinder?
(Hint use the gauge pressure since the atmosphere will help push.)
(e) Determine the work the cylinder if it expands to 0.17m^(3) at constant pressure.
(f) Determine the final temperature of the gas.
