An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Assuming the vessel has thin walls and is pressurized to its bursting point,the amount of gas the vessel can contain,$n$ (in moles),depends only on $V_m$ $(m^3)$,the temperature $T$ $(K)$,the ideal gas constant $R$ $(J/(K \cdot mol))$,and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ $(N/m^2)$. Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?

  • A
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{V_m \sigma}{RT}$
  • B
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m \sigma}}{RT}$
  • C
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m \sigma^2}}{RT}$
  • D
    $n = \frac{2}{3} \frac{\sqrt[3]{V_m^2 \sigma}}{RT}$

What does the universal gas constant $R$ represent? Write its value and unit.

There are two vessels filled with an ideal gas where the volume of one is double the volume of the other. The large vessel contains the gas at $8 \ kPa$ at $1000 \ K$,while the smaller vessel contains the gas at $7 \ kPa$ at $500 \ K$. If the vessels are connected to each other by a thin tube allowing the gas to flow and the temperature of both vessels is maintained at $600 \ K$,at steady state the pressure in the vessels will be (in $kPa$).

An ideal gas at atmospheric pressure has a temperature of $300 \,K$ and a volume of $1 \,m^3$. If its temperature and volume are both doubled,its pressure will be ...........

When the pressure of the gas contained in a closed vessel is increased by $2.5 \%$,the temperature of the gas increases by $4 \ K$. The initial temperature of the gas is (in $K$)
