heat capacity (5/2)R
20.785
5 mole of oxygen is compressed in a piston from 200 K and 0.0042 m3/mol to 300 K and 0.0007 m3/mol (a) Is this compression a spontaneous process? Support your answer with calculations. (b) How much work is needed for this compression, if it occurs under adiabatic conditions? (Hint: Assume oxygen behaves as an ideal gas.)
