A vertical cylinder with a heavy piston contains air at 300 K. The initial pressure is 2.0 x 105 Pa and the initial volume is 0.35 m3 . Take the molar mass of air as 28.9 g/mol and assume Cv= 5 2R. (A) Find the specific heat of air at constant volume in units of J kg·K . (5 pts) (B) Calculate the mass of air in the cylinder. (5 pts) (C) Suppose the piston is fixed. Find the energy input required to raise the temperature to 700 K. (5 pts). (D) Assume again the conditions of the initial state and assume the piston is free to move. Find the energy input to raise the temperature to 700 K. (10 pts)
