Interpretation:The work done in a heartbeat needs to be determined, if the volume of blood pumped in one heartbeat is 75.0cm3.
Concept Introduction: In thermodynamics, a reversible process can be defined as the process which can be reversed to its original state.
Hence in reversible processes, both the system and surroundings are returned to their initial states. In general all reversible processes are ideal processes and cannot occur naturally.
On the contrary, an irreversible process cannot come back to its initial condition. All spontaneous processes in nature are irreversible processes.
In an adiabatic process, the heat change is zero therefore the work done will be equal to the change in the internal energy.

- A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)arrow_forwardThe standard enthalpy of formation of H2O(l) at 298 K is 285.8 kJ/mol. Calculate the change in internal energy for the following process at 298 K and 1 atm: H2O(l)H2(g)+12O2(g)E=?
