Problem 52GP
When 5.30 × 105 J of heat is added to a gas enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston maintained at atmospheric pressure, the volume is observed to increase from 1.9 m3 to 4.1m3. Calculate (a) the work done by the gas, and (b) the change in internal energy of the gas. (c) Graph this process on a PV diagram.
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 3
In this problem, we have to find the work done, the change in internal energy and sketch this process on a PV-diagram.
