A vertical cylinder ofcross-sectional area 0.050 m2 is fitted with atight-fitting, frictionless pistion of mass 5.0 kg. If there are 3.0 mol of ideal gas in the cylinder at 500 K, determine the height"h" at which the postion will be in equilibrium.
the height "h" at which thepostion will be in equilibrium can be found by using h=VA
according to ideal gaslaw V=nRTPn=3.0mol,T=500K,R=8.31J/mol.K
Where Patm+Pgau
Patm=1.013105 Pa
Pgau=FA
=mgA
where m is mass =5.0kg, g=9.8ms2
A is area =0.050m2
plug the values in corresponding equations and calculatea for the answer
