Homework Statement



A mole of ideal gas with a temperature T1=300K is expanded isobarically until its volume is tripled .Then the gas gets colder isochorically until we reach the temperature we had in the beginning 300 K.Find the work of the gas.
Hint : We have a thermodynamic cycle .

Homework Equations



A=p* DeltaV=quantity of moles * R* deltaT

The Attempt at a Solution


Find A=P *3V1-V1=p*2v1=2*P*V1=2*quantity of moles*R*300...Is this correct? Show me ur solution

Welcome to PF, Elaia06! :smile:

Yep. That looks correct to me.

Btw, your problem states that the quantity of moles is one.
And do you know a value for R?

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'

This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
