Chapter 1.5, Problem 31P
Imagine some helium in cylinder with an initial volume of 1 liter and an initial pressure of 1 atm. Somehow the helium is made to expand to final volume of 3 liters, in such a way that its pressure rises in direct proportion to its volume.
- Sketch a graph of pressure vs. volume for this process.
- Calculate the work done on the gas during this process, assuming that there are no “other” types of work being done.
- Calculate the change in the helium’s energy content during this process.
- Calculate the amount of heat added to or removed from the helium during this process.
- Describe what you might do to cause the pressure to rise as the helium expands.
