An ideal gas (which is is a hypothetical gas that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) confined to a container with a massless piston at the top. A massless wire is attached to the piston. When an external pressure of 2.00 atmatm is applied to the wire, the gas compresses from 5.40 to 2.70 LL . When the external pressure is increased to 2.50 atmatm, the gas further compresses from 2.70 to 2.16 LL .
In a separate experiment with the same initial conditions, a pressure of 2.50 atmatm was applied to the ideal gas, decreasing its volume from 5.40 to 2.16 LL in one step.
If the final temperature was the same for both processes, what is the difference between qqq for the two-step process and qqq for the one-step process in joules?

- The gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas and R = 0.0821 is the gas constant. Suppose that, at a certain instant, P = 9.0 atm and is increasing at a rate of 0.15 atm/min and V = 13 L and is decreasing at a rate of 0.17 L/min.

The first container is labelled "Dry" and holds "dry" air = a ratio of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). The second container is labelled "Humid" and holds "moist" air = the SAME ratio of nitrogen and oxygen, but also contains water (H2O) vapor. According to the ideal gas law, if the pressures are equal, the weight of the gas inside the "Dry" container will bearrow_forward
