A vessel contains ethane at a temperature of 100C and a pressure of 10Mpa . The ethane is heated up in a constant pressure process. Calculate the final temperature of the ethane if teh volume increase by 60%?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final temperature of ethane is 323.8°C

Explanation:

Given that

At initial condition

[tex]T_1=100^{\circ}[/tex]

Lets take initial volume of ethane is V,then the final volume of ethane increase to 60% it means  the the final volume is 1.6V.

As we know that at constant pressure

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

So now by putting the values

[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{V}{100+273}=\dfrac{1.6V}{T_2}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=596.8K[/tex]

[tex]T_2=323.8^{\circ}[/tex]

So the final temperature of ethane is 323.8°C
