Two moles of nitrogen gas, with =7/5 for ideal diatomic gases, occupies a volume of 102 m3 in an insulated cylinder at temperature 300 K. The gas is adiabatically and reversibly compressed to a volume of 5 L. The piston of the cylinder is locked in its place, and the insulation around the cylinder is removed. The heat-conducting cylinder is then placed in a 300-K bath. Heat from the compressed gas leaves the gas, and the temperature of the gas becomes 300 K again. The gas is then slowly expanded at the fixed temperature 300 K until the volume of the gas becomes 102 m3, thus making a complete cycle for the gas. For the entire cycle, calculate (a) the work done by the gas, (b) the heat into or out of the gas, (c) the change in the internal energy of the gas, and (d) the change in entropy of the gas.

Two moles of a diatomic ideal gas such as oxygen are compressed adiabatically and reversibly from an initial state (4.01 atm, 12.74 L) to a final state with a pressure of 6.82 atm. Assume that Cv=5R Determine the change in the internal energy of the gas in this process (in J)
One very special method for performing work is to do so reversibly. A change of state occurs reversibly if the external pressure equals the gas pressure throughout the change of state. If the change of state occurs isothermally (at constant temperature), then the expression for reversible work on an ideal gas is: w= -nRTln(V2/V1) A 4.00-mol sample of an ideal gas, initially at 331 K and occupying a volume of 3.4 L, does 2,765 J of isothermal reversible work on the surroundings. What is the final volume (in L)? Round your answer to the tenths (0.1) place.
