and length 0.15 m. The can is filled
with an
ideal gas and covered with a loose cap. The gas is heated to 363 K and some is allowed to escape from the
can so that the remaining gas reaches atmospheric pressure (1.0 x 10
5
Pa). The cap is now tightened, and the gas is
cooled to 298 K.
a)
What is the pressure of the cooled gas?
b)
Determine the upward force exerted on the cap by the cooled gas inside the can.
c)
If the cap develops a leak, how many moles of air would enter the can as it reaches a f
