Chapter 19 Problem 31E

Question

Two moles of carbon monoxide (CO) start at a pressure 1.2 atm and a volume of 30 liters. The gas is then compressed adiabatically to this volume. Assume that the gas may he treated as ideal. What is the change in the internal energy of the gas? Does the internal energy increase or decrease? Does the temperature of the gas increase or decrease during this process? Explain

Solution

Solution 31E Step 1 of 2: For an adiabatic process of an ideal gas, 1 W = 1(p1V 1 p V2) 2 If Q = U + W = 0 for an adiabatic process U = W = 1 (p V p V ) 1 2 2 1 1 5 V 1 p 1 1.22 × 10 pa. p = p2( 1 V ) = 1.4 for an ideal diatomic gas 2 = 1.22 × 10 (3) 1.4 5 = 5.68 × 10 pa 5 3 5 3 3 W = 0.4(5.68 × 10 )(10 × 10 )(1.22 × 10 )(30 × 10 )5.05 × 10 J The internal energy step
