Suppose 2.00 mol of an ideal, monatomic gas is initially at a pressure of 3.00 atm and a temperature T = 350 K. It is expanded irreversibly and adiabatically (q = 0) against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm until the volume has doubled. (a) Calculate the final volume. (b) Calculate w, q, and AU for this process, in joules. (c) Calculate the final temperature of the gas.
