Chapter 19 Problem 8E

Question

Figure E19.8 shows a pV-diagram for an ideal gas in which its absolute temperature at ?b is one-fourth of its absolute temperature at a . (a) What volume does this gas occupy at point ?b?? (b) How many joules of work was done by or on the gas in this process? Was it done by or on the gas? (c) Did the internal energy of the gas increase or decrease from ?a to ?b?? How do you know? (d) Did heat enter or leave the gas from ?a to ?b?? How do you know?

Solution

Solution 8E Problem (a) Step 1: 4 3 V a = 0.5L = 5x10 m T a = T T T b = 4 P = 1.5 atm or (1.5x 1.013x10 Pa)
