Homework Statement
Given two moles of some gas with two atoms per molecule which has energy [itex]U=aK_{B}T[/itex].
Assume the initial pressure is [itex]P_{i}= 2[/itex] Atm and the initial volume is [itex]P_{i}= 0.001\ m^{3}[/itex].
Now we heat it in an isochoric process to [itex]2P_{i}[/itex].
What would be [itex]\Delta T[/itex]?
What would be the work required to do that?
What would be the change in the gas particles' internal energy?
Homework Equations
[itex]U=aK_{B}T[/itex]
[itex]dU=PdS-TdV[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Well using the first law of thermodynamics, I got that under constant volume [itex]dV=0[/itex] so [itex]\frac{dQ}{dT}=\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}[/itex] so the entire energy that we spent on heating would be transferred into the gas.
What's a tricky to me is to formulate the change in temperature as a function of pressure because [itex]dV=0[/itex] so I'd really welcome a hint.
Thanks!
