[SOLVED] Monatomic Ideal Gas volume expansion
A monatomic ideal gas expands slowly to twice its original volume, doing 260 Joules of work in the process.
(a)
Find the heat added to the gas if the process is isobaric.
(b)
Find the change in internal energy of the gas if the process is isobaric.
[tex] U = \frac{1}{2}nRT [/tex] per degree of freedom
pV = nRT
pV = const.
p/T = Constant
V/T = const.
I am not quite sure what to do for this equation. I now that the pressure is constant, and the the volue has doubled. and it has done 260 Joul;es of work in the process.
Any ideas where to start?
