Problem 2.187

The saturated water vapour is enclosed in a cylinder under a piston and occupies a volume V0=5.0lV_{0}=5.0 \mathrm{l} at the temperature tt =100C.=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} . Find the mass of the liquid phase formed after the volume under the piston decreased isothermally to V=1.61.V=1.61 . The saturated vapour is assumed to be ideal.

2.187. mlMp0(V0V)/RT=2.0 gm_{l} \approx M p_{0}\left(V_{0}-V\right) / R T=2.0 \mathrm{~g}, where p0p_{0} is the standard atmospheric pressure.
