Sorry about the repost, but I am frustrated with this problem. An ideal monatomic gas, consisting of 2.47 mol of volume 0.0890 m3, expands adiabatically. The initial and final temperatures are 22.3oC and -64.3oC. What is the final volume of the gas? I've tried solving for P in terms of T...

Approximately how long should it take 8.78 kg of ice at 0oC to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam icebox of dimensions 27.2 cm x 35.7 cm x 51.2 cm whose walls are 1.20 cm thick? Assume that the conductivity of Styrofoam is double that of air and that the outside temperature...

Yeah, its gamma, I just don't know how to put gamma on the computer. Anyway, no, I am still very confused. Don't worry about it, I'll try to solve it, I guess I just don't know where to get started with all of these formulas. Thanks for the help though.

No, I don't understand y It says that y = Cp/Cv -- and then it lists values for real gasses, but this is a general gas I see what you're saying for the second part, I guess I just am frustrated with looking at it.

wait, can you try that again, I don't get what you're saying, sorry.

PV = nRT ?

An ideal monatomic gas, consisting of 2.47 mol of volume 0.0890 m^3, expands adiabatically. The initial and final temperatures are 22.3oC and -64.3oC. What is the final volume of the gas According to a formula in the book, the volume of an ideal monatomic gas' volume expands by 1.52, but I...
