2.0molof gas are at 30Cand a pressure of 1.5atm. How much work must be done on the gas to compress it to one-third of its initial volume at (a) constant temperature and (b) constant pressure? (c) Show both processes on a singlepVdiagram.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Amount of work must be done on the gas to compress it to one-third of its initial volume at constant temperature is 5540J

b) Amount of work must be done on the gas to compress it to one-third of its initial volume at constant pressure is 3360J

c) The diagrammatic representation of pVdiagram is

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Amount of gas =2.0ml

Temperature=30C

Pressure=1.5atm

02

Explanation (Part a) 

In an isothermal process, the work is given by

W=-nRTlnVfVi

We know that the final volume is one third of the initial volume; substituting that and the other information we are given, we have

W=(-2ml8.314JK-1mol-1303Cln1m33m3=5540J

03

Final Answer (Part a) 

Hence, the amount of work must be done on the gas to compress it to one-third of its initial volume at constant temperature is5540J.

04

Given Information (Part b)

Amount of gas=2.0ml

Temperature =30C

Pressure =1.5atm

05

Explanation (Part b) 

(b) In an isobaric process the work is given by

W=-pV

In our case, knowing the relation between the initial and final volumes, we have

W=-p-23V=23pV

We therefore need to find the initial volume fromV:the state equation, we have

pV=nRTV=nRTp

We can therefore substitute in the expression for the work and find that

W=23pnRTp=23nRT

06

Final Answer (Part b) 

In our numerical case, we will have

W=(232mol8.314JK-1mol-1303C)

Amount of work must be done on the gas to compress it to one-third of its initial volume at constant pressure is,

=3360J

07

Given Information (Part c)

Amount of gas=2.0ml

Temperature=30C

Pressure=1.5atm

08

Explanation (Part c) 

Below a sketch of such a graph is given:

09

Final Answer (Part c)

Therefore the graph of pVhas been shown.

Most stars are main-sequence stars, a group of stars for which size, mass, surface temperature, and radiated power are closely related. The sun, for instance, is a yellow main-sequence star with a surface temperature of 5800K. For a main-sequence star whose mass M is more than twice that of the sun, the total radiated power, relative to the sun, is approximately P/Psun=1.5M/Msun3.5. The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8Msun and radius 3.1Rsun. What is the surface temperature of Regulus A?

512 g of an unknown metal at a temperature of 15掳C is dropped into a 100 g aluminum container holding 325 g of water at 98掳C. A short time later, the container of water and metal stabilizes at a new temperature of 78掳C. Identify the metal.

Draw a first-law bar chart (see Figure 19.12) for the gas process in Figure EX19.6.

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?

A container holds 1.0 g of argon at a pressure of 8.0 atm.

a. How much heat is required to increase the temperature by 100掳C at constant volume?

b. How much will the temperature increase if this amount of heat energy is transferred to the gas at constant pressure?
