Question

1) A piston-cylinder system containing 1100 grams of an ideal gas ‘X’ is cooled from 900 K to 100 K at constant pressure. The specific heat capacity of the gas is Cp = 38.3 J.mol-1.K-1. Assume Cp stays constant in the given temperature range. The molar mass of the gas = 28 g.mol-1.

a) Instead of cooling at constant pressure, if ‘X’ was expanded reversibly and at a constant temperature (300K), calculate the work done by the system in kJ if the change in volume was 10-fold.
