A thermos bottle with a piston instead of a lid contains a fixed amount of gas. Because it is a thermos bottle, no heat can enter or leave the bottle. The piston is then pushed in, compressing the gas. Does the pressure of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same? Does the temperature of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same? Describe the behavior of the molecules of gas during the compression and support your answers to (a) and (b) with an explanation in terms of their behavior. Are there any other properties of the gas that change?

For a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?
If you have 9 moles of a monoatomic ideal gas, how much heat is required to raise the temperature of this gas from 264.3K to 277.6K if the volume of the gas remains constant during the heating? Note: It is understood that your answer is in units of Joules
A sample of gas in a cylinder with a piston is in thermal contact with a heat reservoir at a temperature of 353 K. While keeping this gas at this constant temperature and at a constant pressure of 1.10 105 N/m2, we permit the gas to expand by 1.60 10-5 m3. How much heat does the gas absorb during this process?
Consider steady one-dimensional heat transfer through a plane wall exposed to convection from both sides to environments at known temperatures T`1 and T`2 with known heat transfer coefficients h1 and h2. Once the rate of heat transfer has been evaluated, explain how you would determine the temperature of each surface.
A gas burner transfers 9.20 ✕ 105 J into a block of ice with a mass of 2.07 kg and an initial temperature of 0°C. a.) How much of the energy (in J) supplied by the burner goes into melting all the ice into liquid water? (Enter your answer to at least three significant figures.). J b.) How much of the energy (in J) supplied by the burner goes into raising the temperature of the liquid water? (Enter your answer to at least three significant figures.) J c.) What is the final temperature of the liquid water in degrees Celsius?
If you have 4 moles of a diatomic ideal gas (such as oxygen or nitrogen), how much heat is required to raise the temperature of this gas from 269.5K to 288.3K if the volume of the gas remains constant during the heating? Note: It is understood that your answer is in units of Joules, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit ("J" in this case), you answer will be counted wrong.
How much heat is required to increase the temperature by 113 Celsius at constant pressure? How much will the temperature increase if this amount of heat energy is transferred to the gas at constant volume?

3 moles of an ideal polyatomic gas initially with a volume of 2 m3 and a temperature of 3000C is compressed isothermally to 1/3rd its initial volume. How much heat must be added to the system during this compression? a) 15.7 kJ b) -15.7 kJ c) 8.2 kJ d) – 8.2 kJ
⦁ When a certain quantity of helium gas contained inside and engine cylinder combusts, the expanding gas causes the 12-cm-radius piston to move outward by 10.0 cm.
