Question

Problem 36P

A system consists of 2.5 mol of an ideal monatomic gas at 325 K. How much heat must be added to the system to double its internal energy at (a) constant pressure or (b) constant volume?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of a gas,

----------(1)

Where, - Heat added to the gas

             - Work done by the gas

The change in internal energy of a monoatomic ideal gas,

------------(2)

Where, - Number of moles of the gas

             - Universal gas constant

             - Change in temperature of the system

The ideal gas equation,

-------------(3)

Where, - Pressure of the gas

             - Change in volume

a)
