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.

Question

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.
