QUESTION:

The process ?abc shown in the ?pV?-diagram in ?Fig. E19.11 involves 0.0175 mol of an ideal gas. (a) What was the lowest temperature the gas reached in this process? Where did it occur?

ANSWER:

Solution 11E Step 1 of 3: pV nRT = determines the Kelvin temperature of the gas. The work done in the process is the area under the curve in the pV diagram. Q is positive since heat goes into the gas 1 L = 1 × 10 m3 3 paVa Ta= nR 5 3 3 = 0.2 atm×1.013×10pa/atm ×2 L×1×10 m L 0.0175 mol×8.325 j/ mol.K = 278 K
