Homework Statement
in a cylinder, 1.2 mol of an ideal gas, gamma = 1.67 initially at 3.60 x10^5 pa
and 300k, is compressed until the volume is halved.
I need help with 1) c
and
2)
Compute work done on the gas if the compression is:
1)
a) isothermal
b) adiabatic
c) isobaric
2) in which case is the absolue value of the change in internal energy of the gas the greatest? least?
Homework Equations
I think i have a and b worked out.
The Attempt at a Solution
for c) would this be the correct approach?
is this part correct?
V1 = ?
V2 = 1/2V1
w = p(V2 - V1)
w = p(1/2v - v)
pv = nrt
w = -1/2nrt?
2) greatest is isobaric because?
least is isothermal because delta u =0 constant temp and temp is related to change in internal energy.
