A 6000. L storage tank initially was filled with 850. kPa of methane gas, maintained at 20.0°C is located by a small power plant. The power plant draws in 500. L of water for a day at 15.0 °C from the lake. This amount of water is then being heated to a superheated steam at 200°C to power the turbine that is used to generate electricity. A. Calculate the heat required to bring the 500. L of water from 15.0 °C to 200.°C B. Calculate the heat generated by the combustion of the methane gas. C. Determine the final pressure of the methane gas at in the storage tank at the end of the day.
