Initially at 300 K and 10 atm pressure, 1 mol of a gas is allowed to expand adiabatically against a constant pressure of 4 atm until equilibrium is achieved. Assume the gas to be ideal with Cp,m = 28.58 + 1.76 x 10^-2 T (The units of T are K and the units of Cp,m are J K-1 mol-1.) Compute DU, DH, q and w.
