Question:
In an industrial process the volume of 25.0 mol of a monatomic ideal gas is reduced at a uniform rate from 0.616 m3 to 0.308 m3 in 2.00 h while its temperature is increased at a uniform rate from 27 .0oC to 450oC. Throughout the process, the gas passes through thermodynamic equilibrium states. What are(a) The cumulative work done on the gas,(b) The cumulative energy absorbed by the gas as heat, and(c) The molar specific heat for the process? Suppose the process is replaced with a two-step process that reaches the same final state. In step 1, the gas volume is reduced at constant temperature, and in step 2 the temperature is increased at constant volume. For this process, what are?(d) The cumulative work done on the gas,(e) The cumulative energy absorbed by the gas as heat, and(f) The molar specific heat for theprocess?
