Students have asked these similar questions

An ideal diatomic gas, with rotation but no oscillation, undergoes an adiabatic compression. Its initial pressure and volume are .20 atm and 1.2 m^3. Its final pressure and volume are 1.5 atm and 2x10^6 cm^3. How much work is done by the gas? Here y=1.4

Sketch a PV diagram and find the work done by the gas during the following stages.(a) A gas is expanded from a volume of 1.0 L to 3.0 L at a constant pressure of 3.0atm. (b) The gas is then cooled at constant volume until the pressure falls to 2.0 atm.(c) The gas is then compressed at a constant pressure of 2.0 atm from a volume of 3.0L to 1.0 L. Note: Be careful of signs. (d) The gas is heated until its pressure increasesfrom 2.0 atm to 3.0 atm at a constant volume. (e) Find the net work done during thecomplete cycle. [203 J]

Suppose 4.00 mol of an ideal diatomic gas, with molecular rotation but not oscillation, experienced a temperature increase of 60.0 K under constant-pressure conditions. What are (a) the energy transferred as heat Q, (b) the change Eint in internal energy of the gas, (c) the work W done by the gas, and (d) the change K in the total translational kinetic energy of the gas?
