Question

A Carnot cycle is a thermodynamic process consisting of four stages: 1) isothermal expansion; 2) adiabatic expansion; 3) isothermal compression; and 4) adiabatic compression back to the original state. Assuming you have 1.00 mol of a monatomic ideal gas at standard state and the volume is doubling during stage 1 (isothermal expansion), calculate the change in internal energy for this part of the Carnot cycle.

A)22.4 J

B) 2.27 kJ

C)-2.27 kJ

D)-1.72 kJ

E)0 J

 

 

For the same system as in Question ^, calculate the change in temperature for the second stage (adiabatic expansion), assuming that the volume doubles yet again (that is, it is twice as large as the volume at the end of stage 1 but four times greater than the initial volume at the beginning of stage

A) 0K

B) 188K

C) -188K

D) -110K

E) 110K
