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 $50m^3.$
  1. How much water will evaporate?
  2. 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,
  1. The work done by the gas in the left part during the process.

  3. The final common temperature reached by the gases.
  4. The heat given to the gas in the right part.
  5. The increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.
