Pinitial<Pfinal

Vinitial=Vfinal

02

Explanation of solution

formula used:

Q=ΔU-W

ifW=0Q=ΔU

ΔU=mCvΔT

Heat transfer into or out of the system does not change the P?V work, but simply changes the internal energy (temperature) of the system, because the volume remains constant.

The pressure-volume work is zero since the process is isochoric, V=0. The internal energy may be computed using the ideal gas model by:

ΔU=mCvΔT

The property is referred to as "specific heat" (or heat capacity) at a constant volume because it relates the temperature change of a system to the amount of energy added by heat transfer under particular unique conditions (constant volume).

The first law of thermodynamics states that there is no work done by or on the system.

U=?Q.

To make the graph, you must first understand the principles and procedure.

80 J of work are done on the gas in the process shown in Figure EX19.3. What is V1 in cm3 ?

Most stars are main-sequence stars, a group of stars for which size, mass, surface temperature, and radiated power are closely related. The sun, for instance, is a yellow main-sequence star with a surface temperature of 5800K. For a main-sequence star whose mass M is more than twice that of the sun, the total radiated power, relative to the sun, is approximately P/Psun=1.5M/Msun3.5. The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8Msun and radius 3.1Rsun. What is the surface temperature of Regulus A?

A 6.0cmdiameter cylinder of nitrogen gas has a 4.0cm-thick movable copper piston. The cylinder is oriented vertically, as shown in FIGURE P19.50, and the air above the piston is evacuated. When the gas temperature is20C,the piston floats 20cmabove the bottom of the cylinder.

a. What is the gas pressure?

b. How many gas molecules are in the cylinder? Then 20Cof heat energy are transferred to the gas.

c. What is the new equilibrium temperature of the gas?

d. What is the final height of the piston?

e. How much work is done on the gas as the piston rises?

A 5.0 g ice cube at -20°C is in a rigid, sealed container from which all the air has been evacuated. How much heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 200°C? Steam has CV = 1500 J/kgK and CP = 1960 J/kgK

500 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to compress the gas by a factor of 10, starting from its initial volume?
