You're right, it should be 2 Pi and 2 Vi. Okey dokey. \Delta E = \frac{15}{2} P_iV_i W = \int pV \Delta E = Q -W_s \frac{15}{2} P_iV_i = Q - ( \frac{1}{2} (2V_i - V_i)(2P_i - P_i) + (P_i V_i) ) Q = \frac{15}{2} P_iV_i + \frac{P_i V_i}{2} + P_i V_i Q = \frac{18}{2} P_iV_i That looks a...

Homework Statement n moles of a diatomic gas with CV =5/2 R has initial pressure pi and volume Vi. The gas undergoes a process in which the pressure is directly proportional to the volume until the rms speed of the molecules has doubled. a. Show this process on a pV diagram. b. How much heat...
