Question

A cylinder fitted with a piston which can move without friction contains
0.05 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a temperature of 27°C and a pressure of 1 x 10^5 Pa.

The temperature of the gas is now raised to 77°C, the pressure remaining
constant. Calculate :

(i) the change in internal energy
(ii) the external work done
(iii) the total heat energy supplied.
(Molar gas constant = 8.3 J mole^-1 K^-1)
