Consider a cylinder with a movable piston containing n moles of an ideal gas. The entire apparatus is immersed in a constant temperature bath of temperature T Kelvin. The piston pushes slowly outward on an external body which matches the force momentarily at each instant so that the gas expands quasi-statically from a volume V1 to V2 at constant temperature T. The isothermal process is shown in the figure above, where the pressure p is related to the volume V by the
pV = nRT, where R is the gas constant.
Q: For n = 3 moles, T = 310 K, and V2 = 3.5V1, determine the work done by the gas on the external body. The gas constant is R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1.

The initial temperature and pressure of the gas are T1 and P1, respectively. Consider steps 1 → 2, 2 → 3, 3 → 4, and 4 → 1. Write an expression for the volume V4 in terms of V1. Write an expression for P4 in terms of n, R, T4 and V4.arrow_forwardIn an isochoric process, one mole of an ideal gas of rigid diatomic molecules at volume V is taken from an initial temperature T to a final temperature 4T. Using the convention that heat is positive when it is absorbed by the system, what is the heat transfer in terms of R and T?arrow_forward
- A container is filled with an ideal diatomic gas to a pressure and volume of P1 and V1, respectively. The gas is then warmed in a two-step process that increases the pressure by a factor of five and the volume by a factor of four. Determine the amount of energy transferred to the gas by heat if the first step is carried out at constant volume and the second step at constant pressure. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)arrow_forwardProblem #2: For this problem, one mole of a diatomic ideal gas is taken around a reversible cycle by starting at pressure P, volume V, and temperature T, then in an isochoric process 1 increasing pressure to 6P, then in an isobaric process 2 increasing its volume to 21V, then another isochoric process 3 back to a pressure P, and finally in an isobaric process 4 back to P, V, T. Find the temperature of this gas at the end of process 1, 2, and 3 in terms of the original temperature T. Find the internal energy change in process 1 and in process 2 in terms of P and V. Find the heat transfer in process 1 and in process 2 in terms of P and V.arrow_forwardProblem 4: Consider a cylinder with a movable piston containing n moles of an ideal gas. The entire apparatus is immersed in a constant temperature bath of temperature T Kelvin. The piston pushes slowly outward on an external body which matches the force momentarily at each instant so that the gas expands quasi-statically from a volume V1 to V2 at constant temperature T. The isothermal process is shown in the figure above, where the pressure p is related to the volume V by the ideal gas law as follows: pV = nRT, where R is the gas constant. Part (b) For n = 3 moles, T = 350 K, and V2 = 2.5V1, determine the work done by the gas on the external body. The gas constant is R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1.arrow_forward

The initial pressure is 1 atm and the final pressure is 2 atm. Recall that 1 atm = 101.3 kPa. (a) Calculate the magnitude, or absolute value, of the work done on the gas in this process.

The PV diagram is shown in the image below. P V The isobaric expansion occurs at a pressure of 2.265 × 105 Pa and changes the volume of the gas from 5.9 × 10 2 m³ to 10.98 × 10-2 m³.
