One mole of gas is confined in a piston-cylinder apparatus (Figure 6-13) initially at T = 300

Question:

One mole of gas is confined in a piston-cylinder apparatus (Figure 6-13) initially at T = 300 K and P = 10 bar. The gas is heated reversibly and at constant pressure to T = 500 K. What are the values for Q and W as a result of this process? The ideal gas heat capacity for this gas is constant at C_V*=3R, and the van der Waals parameters for the gas are P = = 10 bar T = 300 K Reversible heating P = 10 bar T = 500 K FIGURE 6-13 Piston-cylinder system described
