In this question we start with a gas cylinder with a volume of 1 0 dm 3 containing N 2 at a pressure of 1

In this question we start with a gas cylinder with a volume of 10 dm3 containing N2 at a pressure of 10 bar at 300 K. We call this condition T1. The heat capacity of the gas is Cv\deg =10.4(J/(molK); \mu _(J-T)(K/MPa)=2.15; Pext =1.0 bar.
a) Calculate the amount of moles in the cylinder; you can assume that the gas behaves ideally.
b) Initially the volume of the gas is increased to 50 dm3 while the pressure remains the same. This is state T2. Assume that the gas behaves ideally. Calculate w, q, DU and DH for this trajectory (T1 T2). Watch the sign!
c) We then reduce the pressure of the ideal gas, keeping the volume the same, until we reach the original temperature of 300K. This is state T3. Calculate w, q, DU and DH for this trajectory (T2 T3).
d) In the next step we apply thermal insulation. From T3 we allow the ideal N2 gas to expand reversibly adiabatically and compress it to the original volume of T1. Calculate the final temperature.
In another experiment, all the N2 gas from state T1 is completely transferred via a porous connection to an expandable 2nd cylinder under isoenthalpic conditions. The expandable cylinder ultimately has a volume of 50 dm3.
e) Calculate the final temperature assuming that the gas behaves ideally.
f) Calculate the final temperature assuming that the gas does not behave ideally.
