Problem 62P
Two cylinders each contain 0.10 mol of a diatomic gas at 300 K and a pressure of 3.0 atm. Cylinder A expands isother-mally and cylinder B expands adiabatically until the pressure of each is 1.0 atm.
a. What are the final temperature and volume of each?
b. Show both processes on a single pV diagram. Use an appropriate scale on both axes.

Problem 62P
Two cylinders each contain 0.10 mol of a diatomic gas at 300 K and a pressure of 3.0 atm. Cylinder A expands isother-mally and cylinder B expands adiabatically until the pressure of each is 1.0 atm.
a. What are the final temperature and volume of each?
b. Show both processes on a single pV diagram. Use an appropriate scale on both axes.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 7
The objective here is to:
(a) Determine the final Temperature and volume of two cylinders, A which expands isothermally, and \(B\), which expands adiabatically.
(b) Plot the pV diagram of the two processes.
