Chapter 19 Problem 3E

Question

CALC Two moles of an ideal gas are compressed in a cylinder at a constant temperature of 65.0o C until the original pressure has tripled. (a) Sketch a pV-diagram for this process. (b) Calculate the amount of work done.

Solution

Solution 3E The ideal gas is compressed here and its pressure has tripled. It means that a work is done on the system. (a) The pV diagram can be drawn as shown below. Original pressure of the gas has tripled. This means the volume of the gas will become one third of the initial value. Let. initial pressure P = P 1 Initial volume V = V 1 Final pressure P
