A bucket full of water is placed in a room at $15^\circ C$ with initial relative humidity $40\%$. The volume of the room is $50m^3.$
→- How much water will evaporate?
- lf the room temperature is increased by $5^\circ C, $ how much more water will evaporate? The saturation vapour pressure of water at $15^\circ C$ and $20^\circ C$ are $1.6$kPa and $2.4$kPa respectively.
An adiabatic vessel of total volume V is divided into two equal parts by a conducting separator. The separator is fixed in this position. The part on the left contains one mole of an ideal gas (U = 1.5nRT) and the part on the right contains two moles of the same gas. Initially, the pressure on each side is p. The system is left for sufficient time so that a steady state is reached. Find,
- The work done by the gas in the left part during the process.
- The temperature on the two sides in the beginning.
- The final common temperature reached by the gases.
- The heat given to the gas in the right part.
- The increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.
