Chapter 2, Problem 2.15NP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The final pressure for a monatomic and diatomic gas needs to be determined for which molar heat capacity at constant volume is 3R/2 and 5R/2 respectively.

Concept Introduction: The change in internal energy is calculated as follows:

  ΔU=nCV.m(TfTi)=q+w

Here, n is number of moles, CV,m is molar heat at constant volume and T is temperature.

Also, q is heat transferred and w is work done.

The work done is represented as follows:

  w=PexternalΔV

Here, P is external pressure and ΔV is change in volume.
