Concept explainers
Assume that in an alternate universe, the laws of physics are very different from ours and that “ideal” gases behave as follows: (i) At constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to the square of the volume, (ii) At constant pressure, the volume varies directly with the

- A sample of a monatomic ideal gas occupies 5.00 L at atmospheric pressure and 300 K (point A in Fig. P17.68). It is warmed at constant volume to 3.00 atm (point B). Then it is allowed to expand isothermally to 1.00 atm (point C) and at last compressed isobarically to its original state. (a) Find the number of moles in the sample. Find (b) the temperature at point B, (c) the temperature at point C, and (d) the volume at point C. (e) Now consider the processes A B, B C, and C A. Describe how to carry out each process experimentally. (f) Find Q, W, and Eint for each of the processes. (g) For the whole cycle A B C A, find Q, W, and Eint.

- How many moles of air are in a regular 1.0-L water bottle when you finish drinking the water? Assume that the air is ideal gas, the temperature of the air is 20∘C, and its pressure is 1.0 atm.arrow_forwardExpand 1.00 mol of an monatomic gas initially at 5.00 kPaand 600 K from initial volume Vi = 1.00 m3 to final volume Vf =2.00 m3. At any instant during the expansion, the pressure p and volumeV of the gas are related by p = 5.00 exp[(Vi - V)/a], with p inkilopascals, Vi and V in cubic meters, and a = 1.00 m3.What are thefinal (a) pressure and (b) temperature of the gas?

- A cylinder fitted with a piston which can move without friction contains0.05 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a temperature of 27°C and a pressure of 1 x 10^5 Pa. The temperature of the gas is now raised to 77°C, the pressure remainingconstant. Calculate : (i) the change in internal energy(ii) the external work done(iii) the total heat energy supplied.(Molar gas constant = 8.3 J mole^-1 K^-1)arrow_forwardA 2.00-mol sample of helium gas initially at 300 K, and 0.400 atm is compressed isothermally to 1.20 atm. Noting that the helium behaves as an ideal gas, find (a) the final volume of the gas, (b) the work is done on the gas, and (c) the energy transferred by heat.arrow_forwardSuppose an ideal diatomic gas expands adiabatically from an initial volume of 0.500 m3 to a final volume of 1.25 m3, starting at a pressure of P1 = 1.01 X 105 Pa. Use an adiabatic index “ γ “ = 1.40, for this ideal gas. FIND THE PRESSURE OF THE GASarrow_forward
- Why is the following situation impossible? An apparatus is designed so that steam initially at T = 150°C, P = 1.00 atm, and V = 0.500 m3 in a piston–cylinder apparatus undergoes a process in which (1) the volume remains constant and the pressure drops to 0.870 atm, followed by (2) an expansion in which the pressure remains constant and the volume increases to 1.00 m3, followed by (3) a return to the initial conditions. It is important that the pressure of the gas never fall below 0.850 atm so that the piston will support a delicate and very expensive part of the apparatus. Without such support, the delicate apparatus can be severely damaged and rendered useless. When the design is turned into a working prototype, it operatesperfectly.arrow_forwardSuppose that an ideal gas in a sealed metal container (so it has a fixed volume) has its temperature increased by a factor of 4.80x. By what factor would the pressure of the gas increase or decrease in the container?arrow_forward
