3)One mole of CO2 is charged to a piston at 10 bar pressure 293K. The piston is allowed to expand to 4 times its volume isothermally. What work is done on the surroundings? The gas behaves ideally
A more complicated example using a polyatomic gas
Part1
– CO2 is charged at 2 bar to a piston at 298 K volume 0.5 m3. It is known to vary as polytonic gas PV2=C. The gas is allowed to expand isothermally to twice its volume what work is done by the system
Part 2
– A Spring force (5 kN/m extension) is added to retain the piston what work is done this time if the expansion is the same and how much work is done against the spring the piston area is 0.1 m2
please help me! I really need formulas to determinate work done by the system, and the work against the spring
