Post Lecture 05 https://session.masteringchemistry.com/myct/itemView?a D'92049610 | Exercise 5.121 Exercise 5.121 Part A A natural gas storage tank is a cylinder with a moveable top. Its volume can change only as its height changes, and its radius fixed. The height of the cylinder is 226 m on a day when the temperature is 23 °C. The next day the height of he cylinder increases to 23.4 m when the gas expands because of a heat wave. Determine the temperature on the second day, assuming that the pressure and amount of gas in the storage tank have not changed Express your answer using two significant figures Submit My Answers Ghtun

Explanation / Answer

Since in the above process, pressure remains constant, so it is a closed ISOBARIC system.

we use ideal gas equation here i.e PV=NRT.

since P, N, R is not changing, we have V/T ratio as a constant.

so, V1/T1 = V2/T2.

pi.r^2.H1/T1 = pi.r^2.H2/T2

22.6/300 = 23.4/T2

T2= 37.61
