Calculating Density of Vapor After Heating 3-Liter Vessel

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the density of vapor in a closed 3-liter vessel containing 2kg of water, 0.05kmol of steam, and 15cm3 of ice, one must first determine the total mass of the vapor after heating. The initial mass of the contents includes the mass of water and steam, while the ice will contribute to the total mass once it melts. The volume of the vessel remains constant at 3 liters, which is essential for calculating density. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so the final step involves converting the total mass of vapor into the appropriate units and dividing by the vessel's volume. This approach simplifies the problem to a unit conversion and density calculation.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

A 3-liter vessel contains 2kg of water, 0.05kmol of steam, and 15cm3 of ice (density = 990kg/m3). If the vessel is heated until its entire contents have vaporized, what is the density of the vapor?

now i know I've to use M(in) - M(out) = M(vessel). If anyone can guide me on how to start it, i'd appreciate it.

Thank you

Is it a closed vessel? If so, this is not much more than a unit conversion problem.
 
yep, closed
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
