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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
