(II) Consider the following two-step process. Heat is allowed to flow out of an ideal gas at constant volume so that its pressure drops from 2.2 atm to 1.4 atm. Then the gas expands at constant pressure, from a volume of 5.9 L to 9.3 L, where the temperature reaches its original value. See Fig. 19-30. Calculate (a) the total work done by the gas in the process, (b) the change in internal energy of the gas in the process, and (c) total heat flow into out of the gas.

- Compare the charge in internal energy of an ideal gas for a quasi-static adiabatic expansion with that for a quasi-static isothermal expansion. What happens to the temperature of an ideal gas in an adiabatic expansion?arrow_forwardThe excess internal energy of metabolism is exhausted through a variety of channels, such as through radiation and evaporation of perspiration. Consider another pathway for energy loss: moisture in exhaled breath. Suppose you breathe out 22.0 breaths per minute, each with a volume of 0.600 L. Suppose also that you inhale dry air and exhale air at 37C containing water vapor with a vapor pressure of 3.20 kPa. The vapor comes from the evaporation of liquid water in your body. Model the water vapor as an ideal gas. Assume its latent heat of evaporation at 37C is the same as its heat of vaporization at 100.C. Calculate the rate at which you lose energy by exhaling humid air.arrow_forwardTwo moles of nitrogen gas, with =7/5 for ideal diatomic gases, occupies a volume of 102 m3 in an insulated cylinder at temperature 300 K. The gas is adiabatically and reversibly compressed to a volume of 5 L. The piston of the cylinder is locked in its place, and the insulation around the cylinder is removed. The heat-conducting cylinder is then placed in a 300-K bath. Heat from the compressed gas leaves the gas, and the temperature of the gas becomes 300 K again. The gas is then slowly expanded at the fixed temperature 300 K until the volume of the gas becomes 102 m3, thus making a complete cycle for the gas. For the entire cycle, calculate (a) the work done by the gas, (b) the heat into or out of the gas, (c) the change in the internal energy of the gas, and (d) the change in entropy of the gas.arrow_forward
- A cylinder containing three moles of a monatomic ideal gas is heated at a constant pressure of 2 atm. The temperature of the gas changes from 300 K to 350 K as a result of the expansion. Find work done (a) on the gas; and (b) by the gas.arrow_forwardA car tile contains 0.0380 m3 of air at a pressure of 2.20105 Pa (about 32 psi). How much more internal energy does this gas have than the same volume has at zero gauge pressure (which is equivalent to normal atmospheric pressure)?arrow_forwardAn amount of n moles of a monatomic ideal gas in a conducting container with a movable piston is placed in a large thermal heat bath at temperature T1 and the gas is allowed to come to equilibrium. After the equilibrium is leached, the pressure on the piston is lowered so that the gas expands at constant temperature. The process is continued quasi-statically until the final pressure is 4/3 of the initial pressure p1 . (a) Find the change in the internal energy of the gas. (b) Find the work done by the gas. (c) Find the heat exchanged by the gas, and indicate, whether the gas takes in or gives up heat.arrow_forward
- The energy output of a heat pump is greater than the energy used to operate the pump. Why doesn't this statement violate the first law of thermodynamics?arrow_forwardIt is found that, when a dilute gas expands quasi-statically from 0.50 to 4.0 L, it does 250 J of work. Assuming that the gas temperature remains constant at 300 K, how many moles of gas are present?arrow_forward(II) Sketch a PV diagram of the following process: 2.5 L ofideal gas at atmospheric pressure is cooled at constantpressure to a volume of 1.0 L, and then expanded isothermally back to 2.5 L, whereupon the pressure is increased atconstant volume until the original pressure is reachedarrow_forward
- ii) Predict the heat taken by a gas, if the gas expands from 1100 cm³ to 2600 cm³ at constant pressure of 30000 Pa and the internal energy increases by 23 J.arrow_forwardii) Predict the heat taken by a gas, if the gas expands from 200 cm to 450 cm at constant pressure of 120000 Pa and the internal energy increases by 30 J.arrow_forward. (II) A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a lightfrictionless piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure.When 254 kcal of heat is added to the gas, the volumeis observed to increase slowly from 12.0 m3 to 16.2 m3Calculate (a) the work done by the gas and (b) the changein internal energy of the gas.arrow_forward
