A sample consisting of 2.00 mol He is expanded isothermally at 22C from 22.8 dm3 to 31.7 dm3 (a) reversibly, (b) against a constant external pressure equal to the final pressure of the gas, and (c) freely (against zero external pressure). For the three processes calculate q, w, U, and H.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 7
We need to calculate and
Given values are
The process is done under constant temperature (isothermally)
We need to calculate and the gas expands under three conditions a)reversibly b)against a constant final pressure equal to pressure of the gas c) freely
