1. The pressure gage on a 2.5-m3 oxygen tank reads 500 kPa. Determine the
amount of oxygen in the tank if the temperature is 28°C and the atmospheric
pressure is 97 kPa.

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.
