Two kg of N2 at 450 K, 7 bar is contained in a rigid tank connected by a valve to another rigid tank holding 1 kg of O2 at 300 K, 3 bar. The valve is opened and gases are allowed to mix, achieving an equilibrium state at 370 K. Determine a) the volume of each tank, in m3 . b) the final pressure, in bar. c) the heat transfer to or from the gases during the process, in kJ. d) the entropy change of each gas, in kJ/K

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
