Shows two different processes taking an ideal gas from state i to state f.
Is the work done on the gas in process A greater than, less than, or equal to the work done in process B? Explain.

of nitrogen gas at STP are adiabatically compressed to a pressure of . What are (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done on the gas, (c) the heat transfer to the gas, and (d) the compression ratio ? (e) Show the process on a diagram, using proper scales on both axes.
A scientist whose scale is broken but who has a working
2.5 kW heating coil and a thermometer decides to improvise
to determine the mass of a block of aluminum she has recently
acquired. She heats the aluminum for 30 s and finds that its
temperature increases from 20C to 35C. What is the mass of the
aluminum?
0.10 mol of nitrogen gas follow the two processes shown in
Figure EX19.31. How much heat is required for each?

10 g of aluminum at 200°C and 20 g of copper are dropped into 50 cm3 of ethyl alcohol at 15°C. The temperature quickly comes to 25°C. What was the initial temperature of the copper?
