Consider one mole of an ideal monoatomic gas at STP and confined in a volume V1. You would like to increase its temperature by an amount ΔT.a) Where will you provide less heat to achieve your objective; at constant volume process or at constant pressure process? Give your reasoning without using or referring to any formula.b) We can achieve the same objective along an adiabatic process; how do we do it keeping in mind that there is no heat exchanged in an adiabatic process?c) Express the work done by the gas in the three processes; the question is not merely to write the expressions but you must show briefly how they are obtained.
1.4 g of N2 are placed in a cylinder at an initial volume of 3.8 L and allowed to expand isothermally to a final volume of 10.8 liters against a constant external pressure of 0.8 bar. (A) Treating N2 as a perfect gas, find q, w, ΔU, ΔH, and ΔS for this process. (B) Now assume that the same process occurs, but that N2 can be assumed to have attractive forces between the molecules. In this case, how would q differ from the answer given in (A)? Specifically, would the value be larger, smaller, or unchanged? Explain your answer in 10 words or less. Can you please explain part a and b? <reference> Ne has a mass of 20.18 amu, N2 has a mass of 28.01 amu, H2 has a mass of 1.01 amu, Ar has a mass of 39.95 amu, and He has a mass of 4.00 amu.
An abandoned gas storage tank contains a mixture of ethane (5% by volume) and air. The mixture is at 25 ºC and 1 atm. Assuming complete combustion happens in the tank so fast that the process occurs adiabatically at constant volume;a) determine the final temperature in K b) determine the pressure in atm, inside the tank c) determine the air/fuel ratio on a per mass basis
. A 2.50 mole sample of a perfect gas for which Cv,m = 3R/2 (assume constant over T-range) undergoes the following two-step process: (1) from an initial state of the gas described by T = 13 ºC and P = 1.75 x 105 Pa, the gas undergoes an isothermal expansion against a constant pressure of 3.75 x 104 Pa until the volume has doubled. (2) subsequently, the gas is cooled at constant volume. The temperature falls to -24ºC. Calculate q, w, ∆U, and ∆H for each step and for the overall process.

1) Consider a carnot engine that uses an ideal monatomic gas as the working fluid. The temperature of the hot and cold reserviors are 520 and 350 K, respectively. You are given that the pressure, P1, is 20 atm and the pressure after the first expansion is 5 atm. From these data calculate V1, V2, V3, V4, P3, and P4.
A constant-volume tank initially contains 1 kmol of carbon monoxide CO and 3 kmol of oxygen O2 (no nitrogen) at 25°C and 2 atm. Now the mixture is ignited and the CO burns completely to carbon dioxide CO2. If the final temperature in the tank is 500 K, determine the final pressure in the tank and the amount of heat transfer. Is it realistic to assume that there will be no CO in the tank when chemical equilibrium is reached?
A process for ethanol synthesis has been developed and the ethylene hydration operating conditions have been optimized in order to reduce production costs (Ayaou et al., 2019). Ethanol is manufactured by reacting ethylene with steam at 150 °C (423.15 K).
