0.92 kg of R-134a fills a 0.14-m^3 weighted piston–cylinder device at a temperature of –26.4°C. The container is now heated until the temperature is 100°C. Determine the final volume of R-134a.

Answer:

The final volume of R-134a is 0.212m³

Explanation:

Using one of the general gas equation to find the final volume of the R-134a.

According to pressure law; The volume of a given mas of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided that the pressure remains constant.

VαT

V = kT

k = V/T

V1/T1 = V2/T2 = k

Given V1 = 0.14-m³ at T1 = –26.4°C = –26.4° + 273 = 246.6K

V2 = ? at T = 100°C = 100+273 = 373K

On substituting this values for T2;

0.14/246.6 = V2/373

373*0.14 = 246.6V2

V2 = 373*0.14 /246.6

V2 = 0.212m³

The final volume of R-134a is 0.212m³
