0.500 m3 of a mixture of 35.0% acetylene (C2H2), 25.0% oxygen (O2), 20.0% hydrogen (H2), and 20.0% sulfur dioxide (SO2) on a mass basis is to be adiabatically compressed in a piston-cylinder arrangement from 1.00 atm, 20.0°C to 100. atm and 300.°C.
a. Using Kay's law, find the final volume of the mixture.
b. Assuming constant specific heats, determine the work required per unit mass of mixture.
