    Work done by product gas in reversible adiabatic expansion

    I t is a combustion reaction of ethanol, volume is increasing from 0.02 m3 to 0.04 m3 with a starting temperature of 4000 K. Also the amounts are known. (12g ethane and enough oxygen) Thanks

    Work done by product gas in reversible adiabatic expansion

    I only know the V1, V2 and n. Should this work or should I assume a P1 of 1 bar?

    Work done by product gas in reversible adiabatic expansion

    I am having trouble calculating the work done by a product gas in reversible adiabatic expansion, and in calculating the final temperature. pV gamma = constant, Cv = constant (assume), gamma = cv + nR / Cv. anyone who can help me out?
