3. A 1- m3 tank containing air at 25°C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to
another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is
opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the
surroundings, which are at 20°C. Determine the volume of the second tank and
the final equilibrium pressure of air.

4. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the
tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the
volume of the tire is 0.025 m3 , determine the pressure rise in the tire when the
air temperature in the tire rises to 50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that
must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature.
Assume the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.
