An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:

Physics

Burka [1]3 years ago

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Step A:</h3>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2

V_2 = 10 \div 3

V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)

W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)

W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Step B:</h3>

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

P_2V_2 = P_3V_3

3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3

V_3 = 10 \div 2

V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)

W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})

W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

W = W_A + W_B

W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}

\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

\Delta U = Q + W

0 = Q + (-743)

\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

the number of electrons in a copper penny is approximately 10 10^23. How large would the force be on an object if it carried thi
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

0.000230144 N

Explanation:

n = Number of electrons = 10\times 10^{23}

q = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

r = Distance between obects = 1 m

The force would be

F=\dfrac{nkq^2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{10\times 10^{23}\times 8.99\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.000230144

The force would be 0.000230144 N
