Question #287477

Suppose 2.60 mol of an ideal gas of volume V 1 = 3.50 m 3 at T 1 = 290 K is

allowed to expand isothermally to V 2 = 7.00 m 3 at T 2 = 290 K. Determine:

a) the work done by the gas, [Ans = 4,350 J]

b) the heat added to the gas, and [Ans = take a guess]

c) the change in internal energy of the gas. [Ans = check definition of iso…]

a) Workdone=nRTlnV1V2Workdone = nRT \ln { V_1 \over V_2}

2.6×8.314×290(ln73.5)=4385.62J2.6 × 8.314 × 290( \ln{7 \over 3.5}) = 4385.62J

b) since it is Isothermal, there is no internal energy. Then, ΔEint=0\Delta E_{int} = 0

ΔEint=QW\Delta E_{int} = Q-W

W=Q=4385.62JW= Q= 4385.62J


c) ΔEint=0\Delta E_{int} = 0 (since it is isothermic)
