Q: A small piece of copper (mass $$m = 0.10 kg) is $$heated to $$200^{\circ}$$\mathrm{C}$$ and placed in a well-insulated cylinder containing monatomic helium gas at 25$$^{\circ}$$\mathrm{C}$$ and $$1.0$$ atm. The cylinder has radius $$r = 0.12 m $$and length $$L = 1.30 m. $$What is the number of moles of helium gas in the cylinder? (Use $$V = \pi r^2$ L$$ and $$PV = nRT$$ with $$R = 8.314 J/($$mol·K))

$$n = \dfrac{1.013 \times 10^5$ \times \pi \times (0.12)^2$ \times 1.30}{8.314 \times (273.15 + 25)}$$
