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
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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...
