Draw a first-law bar chart (see Figure 19.12) for the gas process in Figure EX19.6.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work is positive level and heat is negative level.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of isobaric  process 

Isobaric process defines that the pressure remain constant due to change of variables.

02

Finding the major points of the diagram.

Based of the graph, the volume decrease that means Vf>Viand work done is positive due to the energy goes from environment to system.

As per isolate gas equation if volume decrease then temperature also decrease. Due to this reason internal energy and heat decrease and work done is increased. So Ethi>Ethf

A monatomic gas fills the left end of the cylinder in FIGURE CP19.82. At 300K,the gas cylinder length is 10.0cmand the spring is compressed by 2.0cm. How much heat energy must be added to the gas to expand the cylinder length to 16.0cm?

nmoles of an ideal gas at temperature T1and volume localid="1648032029846" V1expand isothermally until the volume has doubled. In terms of n,T1and V1, what are (a) the final temperature, (b) the work done on the gas, and (c) the heat energy transferred to the gas?

A scientist whose scale is broken but who has a working

2.5 kW heating coil and a thermometer decides to improvise

to determine the mass of a block of aluminum she has recently

acquired. She heats the aluminum for 30 s and finds that its

temperature increases from 20C to 35C. What is the mass of the

aluminum?

A beaker with a metal bottom is filled with 20gof water at 20°C. It is brought into good thermal contact with a 4000cm3container holding 0.40molof a monatomic gas at 10atmpressure. Both containers are well insulated from their surroundings.

What is the gas pressure after a long time has elapsed? You can assume that the containers themselves are nearly massless and do not affect the outcome.

A 10cmdiameter cylinder contains argon gas at 10atmpressure and a temperature of50°C. A piston can slide in and out of the cylinder. The cylinder's initial length is 20cm.2500J of heat are transferred to the gas, causing the gas to expand at constant pressure. What are (a) the final temperature and (b) the final length of the cylinder?
