The pressure in an engine cylinder increases from 7.6 atm to 13 atm as the gas is compressed from 0.50 l to 0.10 l. what is the expected cylinder temperature if the gas was initially 15°c?

98.53K or 174.47°C

Explanation:

Initial Pressure, P1 = 7.6atm

Final Pressure, P2 = 13atm

Initial Volume, V1 = 0.50L

Final Volume, V2 = 0.10L

Initial Temperature, T1 = 15 +273 = 288K (Converting to kelvin temperature)

Final Temperature, T2 = ?

The equation relating all these parameters id the ideal gas equation.

This is given as;

(P1V1) / T1 = (P2V2) / T2

Upon solving for T2, we have;

T2 = P2V2T1 / PIV1

Inserting the values,

T2 = (13 * 0.10 * 288) / (7.6 * 0.5)

T2 = 374.4 / 3.8

T2 = 98.53K or 174.47°C

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
