3. A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a
valve to another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the
valve is opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal
equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the
volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.

V=0.025m3
T2=50°C → 323 K

Solution:
a) P1=Pgage + Patm
=210 kPa + 100 kPa
P1 =310 kPa
P2=(T2/T1)(P1)
=(323 K/298 K)(310 kPa)
