Find the growth of temperature of the gas

AI Thread Summary
To find the temperature growth of a gas heated at constant pressure, the ideal gas equation pV=nRT is essential. Given a mass of 3 moles, a pressure of 1.5 atm, and a volume change from 40 liters to 60 liters, the initial temperature T1 is needed for calculations. The relationship V1/V2=T1/T2 can be used to find the final temperature T2. The expected answer for the temperature growth is 121 K. Understanding the ideal gas law is crucial for solving this problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A mass of 3 mole gas is heated in a constant pressure of 1.5 atm, expanding from 40 litre to 60 litre. Find the temperature growth.

Homework Equations


V1/V2=T1/T2.

The Attempt at a Solution


I thought to write V1/V2=T1/T2. But I don't know T1. The answer is 121 K in my book.

Don't you know the ideal gas equation? Can you write it down? From this, given P, V, and N, you should be able to calculate T.

pV=nRT
Thanks a lot

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...
