Question

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%?

Answer 1

The final temperature of ethane is 323.8°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

At initial condition

`T_1=100^(\circ)`

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

`(V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)`

So now by putting the values

`(V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)`

`(V)/(100+273)=(1.6V)/(T_2)`

`T_2=596.8K`

`T_2=323.8^(\circ)`

So the final temperature of ethane is 323.8°C
