A 2000 cm3 container holds 0.10 mol of helium gas at 300掳C. How much work must be done to compress the gas to 1000 cm3 at (a) constant pressure and (b) constant temperature?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The value of work done at constant pressure is 240J

b. The value of work done at constant volume is 330J

Step by step solution

01

Definition of work done

The work done has represented as energy that is transferred between system and environment.

02

Step  2: Finding the work done energy. 

The value of the changeable volume is

V2-V1=1000-2000cm3=-1000cm3

the equation of real gas is localid="1649077116383" p=nRTV1

So the work done is

W=-nRTV1V

Now the temperature in Kelvin is ((300+273)= 573K

a. The value of work done at constant pressure

W=-(0.10)(8.314J/mol.K500K20010-6m3(-100010-6m3)=240J

b. The value of work done at constant pressure

W=-nRTlnV2V1W=-(0.10)(8.314J/mol.K500K20010-6m3ln(1000)2000cm3=330J

A 5.0 g ice cube at -20掳C is in a rigid, sealed container from which all the air has been evacuated. How much heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 200掳C? Steam has CV = 1500 J/kgK and CP = 1960 J/kgK

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?

How much work is done on the gas in the process shown in Figure EX19.2?

The gas cylinder in Figure Q19.11 is well insulated on all sides. The piston can slide without friction. Many small masses on top of the piston are removed one by one until the total mass is reduced by 50%.

a. During this process, are (i) 鈭員, (ii) W, and (iii) Q greater than, less than, or equal to zero? Explain.

b. Draw a pV diagram showing the process.

A typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW (1000 MJ/s) of electrical energy. In doing so, it produces 2000 MW of 鈥渨aste heat鈥 that must be removed from the reactor to keep it from melting down. Many reactors are sited next to large bodies of water so that they can use the water for cooling. Consider a reactor where the intake water is at 18掳C. State regulations limit the temperature of the output water to 30掳C so as not to harm aquatic organisms. How many liters of cooling water have to be pumped through the reactor each minute?
