A 6 cubic meter tank contains helium at 400 K and is evacuated from

atmospheric pressure to a pressure of 740 mm Hg Vacuum. Determine

(a) The mass of helium remaining in the tank (b) the mass of helium
pumped out (c) The temperature of the remaining helium falls to 10 ◦C.
What is the pressure in kPa?
Ans. (a). m = 0.01925 kgm (b). 0.7123 kgm (c). P = 1.886 kPa
