    Fraction of heat energy used to do expansion work of a gas?

    I know this is an old question, but I thought I'd reply for future students that need help with this question. All of the work shown is right, except for the very end. The question wants the ratio of W/Q, while the original poster found the ratio of ΔU/Q. W/Q = PΔV / (5/2)(PΔV) = 2/5
