Comparing Volumes of Gases in 2 Cylinder Containers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In the discussion, participants analyze the behavior of gases in two cylinder containers with volumes of 50 m³ and 60 m³, respectively. Using the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), it is established that the volumes of gas in each container will correspond directly to the container's volume when the same number of moles is injected. The conversation highlights the importance of initial conditions, such as whether the containers are empty and thermally insulated, as these factors can influence temperature during gas injection. Ultimately, the conclusion is that the volumes of gas will be 50 m³ and 60 m³, matching the respective container sizes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the ideal gas law (PV=nRT)
  • Basic knowledge of gas properties and behavior
  • Familiarity with concepts of volume and moles in chemistry
  • Awareness of thermal insulation effects on gas behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of thermal insulation on gas behavior in closed systems
  • Explore real-world applications of the ideal gas law in engineering
  • Learn about gas injection methods and their effects on temperature and pressure
  • Investigate the impact of varying container sizes on gas properties
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, engineers, and anyone interested in understanding gas behavior in different container sizes and conditions.

I want to ask if I have 2 cylinder container

1) 50 m3
2) 60 m3

If I inject the same no. of mole of gases into these containers respectively
when I apply PV=nRT
Is the volume in calculating the gases in these containers are the same??

Somethings are missing in your post.
Are the containers initially empty?
Are they isolant (thermic)?
How the gases are injected? The injection process will change the temperature.

If the volume of the first container is 50 m^3 and the volume of the second is 60 m^3, I suppose the volumes of the gas are...
50 m^3 and 60 m^3!

(This is the easier problem I've ever solved!).
