Chapter 15, Problem 1Q

hi an isothermal process, 3700 J of work is done by an ideal gas. Is this enough information to tell how much heat has been added to the system? If so, how much? If not, why not?

Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

How much heat has been added to the system?

Answer to Problem 1Q

Solution:

• Yes, the given information is enough to tell the amount of heat that has been added to the system.

• 3700 J heat has been added to the system.

Explanation of Solution

The system is an isothermal process.

Work done by an ideal gas is 3700 J.

It has been given that the process is isothermal which means that there is no change in the temperature of the gas, the energy of the gas remains same. So the heat added to the system is equal to the work done by the gas which is 3700 J.
