nmoles of an ideal gas at temperature T1and volume localid="1648032029846" V1expand isothermally until the volume has doubled. In terms of n,T1and V1, what are (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done on the gas, and (c) the heat energy transferred to the gas?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The final temperature is equal to the initial temperature T1.

b) The work done on the gas is W=-nRT1ln(2)

c) The heat energy transferred to the gas isQ=nRT1ln(2)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Number of moles of an ideal gas=n

Temperature=T1

Volume=V1

02

Explanation (Part a)

Since the process is isothermic, the final temperature will be equal to the initial one,T1.

03

Final Answer (Part a)

Hence, the initial temperature is equal to the final temperature.

04

Given Information (Part b)

Number of moles of an ideal gas =n

Temperature =T1

Volume=V1

05

Explanation (Part b)

(b) The work in an isothermic process is given by

W=-nRTlnV2V1

Since the volume was doubled, in our case we simply have

W=-nRT1ln(2)

06

Final Answer (Part b)

Hence, the work done on the gas isW=-nRT1ln(2).

07

Given Information (Part c)

Number of moles of an ideal gas =n

Temperature =T1

Volume =V1

08

Explanation (Part c)

(c) Since the process is isothermal, the internal energy of the gas didn't change.

This means that, from the first law, the entire heat added to it was converted into work. Therefore, the heat added to the gas was

Q=nRT1ln(2)

09

Final Answer (Part c)

Hence, the heat energy transferred to the gas isQ=nRT1ln(2).

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?
