Chapter 20 Problem 20

Question

Expand 1.00 mol of an monatomic gas initially at 5.00 kPa and 600 K from initial volume Vi 1.00 m3 to final volume Vf 2.00 m3 .At any instant during the expansion, the pressure p and volume V of the gas are related by p 5.00 exp[(Vi V)/a], with p in kilopascals, Vi and V in cubic meters, and a 1.00 m3 . What are the final (a) pressure and (b) temperature of the gas? (c) How much work is done by the gas during the expansion? (d) What is S for the expansion? (Hint: Use two simple reversible processes to find S.)

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Expand 1.00 mol of an monatomic gas initially at 5.00 kPa and 600 K from initial volume Vi 1.00 m3 to final volume Vf 2.00 m3 .At any instant during the expansion, the pressure p and volume V of the gas are related by p 5.00 exp[(Vi V)/a], with p in kilopascals, Vi and V in cubic meters, and a 1.00 m3 . What are the final (a) pressure and (b) temperature of the gas? (c) How much work is done by the gas during the expansion? (d) What is S for the expansion? (Hint: Use two simple reversible processes to find S.)
From the textbook chapter Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
