arithmetic mean of the initial and final temperatures is C(T2 − T1)2/12.

arithmetic mean of the initial and final temperatures is:

4.8. Calculate the heat capacity of a gas sample from the following information: The sample

comes to equilibrium in a flask at 25°C and 121.3 kPa. A stopcock is opened

briefly, allowing the pressure to drop to 101.3 kPa. With the stopcock closed, the flask

warms, returning to 25°C, and the pressure is measured as 104.0 kPa. Determine CP

in J·mol−1·K−1 assuming the gas to be ideal and the expansion of the gas remaining in

the flask to be reversible and adiabatic.

3.8. The Tait equation for liquids is written for an isotherm as:

where V is molar or specific volume, V0 is the hypothetical molar or specific volume

at zero pressure, and A and B are positive constants. Find an expression for the isothermal

compressibility consistent with this equation.

3.9. For liquid water the isothermal compressibility is given by:

where c and b are functions of temperature only. If 1 kg of water is compressed isothermally

and reversibly from 1 to 500 bar at 60°C, how much work is required? At

60°C, b = 2700 bar and c = 0.125 cm3·g–1.

temperature of 32(°F) from 1(atm) to 3000(atm). The isothermal compressibility of

change of state at 1 bar during which the temperature changes from 0°C to 20°C.

at 1 bar and 0°C may be assumed independent of temperature: β = 1.2 ×  10 −3 K −1 ,
