Submarines change their depth by adding or removing air from rigid ballast tanks, thereby displacing seawater in the tanks. Consider a submarine that has a 700 m3 air-ballast t tank originally partially filled with 100 m3 of air at 1500 kPa and 15°C. For the  submarine to surface, air at 1500 kPa and 20°C is pumped into the ballast tank, until it is entirely filled with air. The tank is filled so quickly that the process is adiabatic and the seawater leaves the tank at 15°C. Determine the final temperature and mass of the air in the ballast tank.
