Answer:

  • The work made by the gas is 7475.69 joules
  • The heat absorbed is 7475.69 joules

Explanation:

<h3>Work</h3>

We know that the differential work made by the gas  its defined as:

dW =  P \ dv

We can solve this by integration:

\Delta W = \int\limits_{s_1}^{s_2}\,dW = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv

but, first, we need to find the dependence of Pressure with Volume. For this, we can use the ideal gas law

P \ V = \ n \ R \ T

P = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V}

This give us

\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V} \ dv

As n, R and T are constants

\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \ n \ R \ T \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{1}{V} \ dv

\Delta W= \ n \ R \ T  \left [ ln (V) \right ]^{v_2}_{v_1}

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln (\frac{v_2}{v_1})

But the volume is:

V = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P}

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln(\frac{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_2}}{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_1}} )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln(\frac{P_1}{P_2})

Now, lets use the value from the problem.

The temperature its:

T = 27 \° C = 300.15 \ K

The ideal gas constant:

R = 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol}

So:

\Delta W = \ 1 mol \ 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol} \ 300.15 \ K  ln (\frac{20 atm}{1 atm})

\Delta W = 7475.69 joules

<h3>Heat</h3>

We know that, for an ideal gas, the energy is:

E= c_v n R T

where c_v its the internal energy of the gas. As the temperature its constant, we know that the gas must have the energy is constant.

By the first law of thermodynamics, we know

\Delta E = \Delta Q - \Delta W

where \Delta W is the Work made by the gas (please, be careful with this sign convention, its not always the same.)

So:

\Delta E = 0

\Delta Q = \Delta W

Tomorrow i have a science test, could someone please fill me in on the water cycle?
Lorico [155]

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere and land involving precipitation as rain and snow drainage in streams and rivers and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

Hope this gives you a little bit more information!

A shell is fired at an angle of 35° above the horizontal at a velocity of 40 m/s. (a) What is it's speed at the highest point of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = v_x = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

T = 4.68 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Shell is fired at speed of 40 m/s at angle of 35 degree

so here we have

v_x = 40 cos35 = 32.77 m/s

v_y = 40 sin35 = 22.94 m/s

since gravity act opposite to vertical speed of the shell so at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical component of the speed will become zero

so at the highest point the speed is given

v_f = 32.77 m/s

Part b)

After completing the motion we know that the displacement of the object will be zero in Y direction

so we have

\Delta y = 0

0 = v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2(22.94)}{9.81} = 4.68 s
