Answer

a) $(d P)_v=\frac{R d T}{v}=9.692\text{ kPa}$ b) $(d P)_T=\frac{R d T}{v}=-9.692\text{ kPa}$ c) $0$

Work Step by Step

An ideal gas equation can be expressed as $P=R T / v$. Noting that $\mathrm{R}$ is a constant and $P=P(T, v)$, $$ d P=\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_v d T+\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial v}\right)_T d v=\frac{R d T}{v}-\frac{R T d v}{v^2} $$ (a) The change in $T$ can be expressed as $d T \cong \Delta T=350 \times 0.01=3.5 \mathrm{~K}$. At $v=$ constant, $$ (d P)_v=\frac{R d T}{v}=\frac{\left(2.0769 \mathrm{kPa} \cdot \mathrm{m}^3 / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\right)(3.5 \mathrm{~K})}{0.75 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}}=\mathbf{9 . 6 9 2} \mathrm{kPa} $$ (b) The change in $v$ can be expressed as $d v \cong \Delta v=0.75 \times 0.01=0.0075 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}$. At $T=$ constant, $$ (d P)_T=-\frac{R T d v}{v^2}=\frac{\left(2.0769 \mathrm{kPa} \cdot \mathrm{m}^3 / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\right)(300 \mathrm{~K})\left(0.0075 \mathrm{~m}^3\right)}{\left(0.75 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}\right)^2}=\mathbf{- 9 . 6 9 2 k P a} $$ (c) When both $v$ and $T$ increases by $1 \%$, the change in $P$ becomes $$ d P=(d P)_v+(d P)_T=9.692+(-9.692)=\mathbf{0} $$ Thus the changes in $T$ and $v$ balance each other.
