problem, we obtain the initial and final tempera-
tures in the vessel:
pi = 17 x 10 5 Pa, T 1 = Ti cy_- 380 K, ,
pt = 26 X 10 5 Pa, T2 = T1 CI-j 440 K.
Let us now determine the mass of evaporated
water. Assuming that water vapour is an ideal gas,
we calculate the initial pvi and final Pv2 pressures
of water vapour in the vessel. For this purpose,
we make use of the obtained graphs. For T 1 =
380 K, the pressure of hydrogen is pii2 15.5 X
105 Pa, and
Pv = PI —Pi", 1.5X10^5 Pa.
For T2 = 440 K, ph 2 c•- 18 x 10 5 Pa, and
Pv2--= Pf- 13 1-1 ' 8 x10^5 Pa.
Let us write the equations of state for water
vapour at pv„, T 1 and pv 2, T2:

where mv, and mv2 are the initial and final masses
of vapour in the vessel. Hence we can determine
the mass of evaporated water:
