. A piston-cylinder device whose piston is resting on top of a set of stops initially contains 0.5 kg of helium gas at 100 kPa and 25 ºC. The mass of the piston is such that 500 kPa of pressure is required to raise it. How much heat must be transferred to the helium before the piston starts rising?

Qin = 1857 kJ

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.5 Kg

T₁ = 25°C = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

P₁ = 100 kPa

P₂ = 500 kPa

First, the temperature when the piston starts rising is determined from the ideal gas equations at the initial state and at that state:

T₂ = T₁*P₂/P₁

⇒  T₂ = 298 K*(500 kPa/100 kPa) = 1490 K

Until the piston starts rising no work is done so the heat transfer is the change in internal energy

Qin = ΔU = m*cv*(T₂-T₁)

⇒   Qin = 0.5*3.1156*(1490 - 298) kJ = 1857 kJ

answer:

the army does care about its soilders sir i think yout getting off on the wrong foot sir you need to respect our country were keeping the peole that want to d harm towards you out. so dont go saying we don't care cause we do
