An ideal gas with γ = 1.40 occupies 8.26 L at 335 K and 79.2 kPa pressure. It's compressed adiabatically to one-third of its original volume, then cooled at constant volume back to 335 K. Finally, it's allowed to expand isothermally to its original volume.
How much work is done on the gas?
Consider a 1 mole of an ideal gas at 25.00 oC. This gas is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally from a volume of 7.95 liters to 117.61 liters. Calculate the work done by the gas in joules. Answer in 6 significant figures.
A sample of 1.00 mole of a diatomic ideal gas is initially at temperature 265 K and volume 0.200 m3. The gas first undergoes an isobaric expansion, such that its temperature increases by 140.0 K. It then undergoes an adiabatic expansion so that its final volume is 0.420 m3.
