A well insulated piston-cylinder assembly contains one mole of ideal gas. There are two 3000 kg blocks on this well insulated 0.04 m2 piston. Its starting temperature is 600 K and ambient pressure is 4 bar. The gas is compressed by adding another 3000 kg block. Fixed volume heat capacity is given as (5/2) R. (a) What are the initial and final pressures of the gas in the system? (b) Is the temperature expected to rise or fall? Explain. (c) What is the end temperature?
