Consider a sample containing 5.00 moles of a monatomic ideal gas that is taken from state A to state B by the following two pathways: For each step, assume that the external pressure is constant and equals the final pressure of the gas for that step. Calculate q, w, E and H for each step in kJ, and calculate overall values for each pathway. Explain how the overall values for the two pathways illustrate that E and H are state functions, whereas q and w are path functions. Hint: In a more rigorous study of thermochemistry, it can be shown that for an ideal gas: E=nCvTand H=nCpT where Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume and Cp is the molar heat capacity at constant pressure. In addition, for a monatomic ideal gas, Cv=32R andCp=52R , where R = 8.3145 J/K mol.
