Homework Statement
One mole of an ideal gas at 300K expands isothermally from a pressure of 2x10^6 N/m^2 to a pressure of 2x10^5 N/m^2.
Derive the equations for, and calculate:
the heat absorbed by the gas...
the change in the internal energy of the gas...
the entropy change in the gas if it expands reversibly
Homework Equations
Q=mc(Δt)
ΔE = Q - W
PV = nRT
W = PΔV
Another equation involving ΔE, but i am not sure what it is...
The Attempt at a Solution
Since it is an isothermic equation, there is no Δt...which makes the ΔE equal zero(the internal energy). Since the internal energy is zero, that makes the equation ΔE=Q-W into Q=W. I am not sure how to finish the problem, because i have a change in pressure...but there is no change in temperature...
