Question
18 grams of Neon gas with a volume of 19 liters at 310K and expands isothermally against a constant
external pressure of 9.2 kPa until the volume increases by 4.3 liters.
i) Calculate the change in energy of the system due to the work done.
ii) Calculate the change in energy from work done if this expansion was instead carried out reversibly.
iii) Explain why there is a difference in the energy to do the work in parts i) and ii)
