An `LPG` cylinder weighs `14.8 kg` when empty. When full it weighs `29.0 kg` and the weight of the full cylinder reduces to `23.2 kg`. Find out the volume of the gas in cubic metres used up at the normal usage conditions and the final pressure inside the cylinder. Assume `LPG` to be `n`-butane with normal boiling point of `0^(@)C`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Weight of full cylinder `=29 kg`
Weight after usage `=23.2 kg`
Gas consumed `=29-23.2=5.8kg` or `5800 g`
For butane `(C_(4)H_(10))`, `M=58`
Normal pressure `=1 atm`
Room temperature `=298 K`
`PV=nRT`
or `1xxV=(5800)/(58)xx0.0821xx298`
or `V=2446.58 L~~2.447m^(3)`

An empty LPG cylinder weighs 14.8 kg. When full, it weighs 29.0 kg and shows a pressure of 3.47 atm. In the course of use at ambient temperature, the mass of the cylinder is reduced to 23.0 kg. The final pressure inside the cylinder is atm. (Nearest integer) (Assume LPG to be an ideal gas)

The thickness of a hollow metallic cylinder is 2 cm. It is 70 cm long with outer radius of 14 cm. Find the volume of the metal used in making the cylinder, assuming that it is open at both the ends. Also find its weight if the metal weighs 8 g per cm^3 .

Air is contained in a vertical piston – cylinder assembly fitted with an electric heater. The piston has a mass of 50 kg and cross sectional area of 0.1 m^(2) . Mass of the air inside the cylinder is 0.3 kg. The heater is switched on and the volume of the air slowly increases by 0.045 m^(3) . It was found that the internal energy of the air increased by 32.2 kJ//kg and that of the piston increased by 0.06 kJ/kg. Assume that the container walls and outer surface of the piston are well insulated and there is no friction. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Determine the heat transferred by the heater to the system consisting of air and the piston.
