Initial Mass of Oxygen + Mass of Oxygen leaked out

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the initial mass of oxygen in a tank and the mass that has leaked out, given specific conditions of pressure and temperature. A welder fills a 7.50×10−2 m^3 tank with oxygen at a gauge pressure of 3.00×10^5 Pa and a temperature of 37.1 C, later noting a pressure drop to 1.85×10^5 Pa at 23.4 C. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work in problem-solving to facilitate learning rather than simply providing answers. There is a recognition of the challenges faced by individuals with limited physics background, and encouragement is offered to engage with the material. Overall, the focus is on understanding the process of solving the problem rather than just obtaining the solution.

Homework Statement



A welder using a tank of volume 7.50×10−2 m^3 fills it with oxygen (with a molar mass of 32.0 g/mol) at a gauge pressure of 3.00×105 Pa and temperature of 37.1 C. The tank has a small leak, and in time some of the oxygen leaks out. On a day when the temperature is 23.4 C, the gauge pressure of the oxygen in the tank is 1.85×105 Pa.

Homework Equations



Find the initial mass of oxygen.
Find the mass of oxygen that has leaked out.

You need to show some work and where you are having a problem.

Homework Help doesn't mean that it gets done for you.

I see 5 problems you've posted and apparently no work.
 
Hey...I'd love to show some work...and I don't intend on anyone giving me the answers...I just want to know how its done...I've been enrolled in a really hard physics course that I can't get out of...and back in high school my physics class was a joke...so basically I have no background whatsoever...My sincere apologies if I caused any trouble.
I think I'll just remove my threads...

Thanks anyways...

It's no trouble, if you just show some work and make an attempt.

The idea is that you learn.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
