The can is filled with an ideal gas and covered with a loose cap. The gas is heated to 363 K and some is allowed to escape from the can so that the remaining gas reaches atmospheric pressure ( `1.0×105 Pa1.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}` ). The cap is now tightened, and the gas is cooled to 298 K . a. What is the pressure of the cooled gas? b. Determine the upward force exerted on the cap by the cooled gas inside the can. c. If the cap develops a leak, how many moles of air would enter the can as it reaches a final equilibrium at 298 K and atmospheric pressure? (Assume that air is an ideal gas.)
