Problem P. 4334. (March 2011)

P. 4334. In a container which is equipped with a piston there is a mixture of Oxygen and Nitrogen gas at a temperature of T=77.4 K. Keeping the temperature constant the mixture is slowly compressed. The pressure of the mixture as a function of the volume changes as shown in the figure, where V1=15 dm3 és p1=56.3 kPa.

a) How much Oxygen and Nitrogen are there in the container?

b) Determine the (p_{2},\,V_{2}) coordinates of that single point on the isotherm, where the graph has a cusp.
