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

barxatty [35]

Answer:

A thin, taut string tied at both ends and oscillating in its third harmonic has its shape described by the equation y(x,t)=(5.60cm)sin[(0.0340rad/cm)x]sin[(50.0rad/s)t]y(x,t)=(5.60cm)sin[(0.0340rad/cm)x]sin[(50.0rad/s)t], where the origin is at the left end of the string, the x-axis is along the string, and the y-axis is perpendicular to the string. (a) Draw a sketch that shows the standing-wave pattern. (b) Find the amplitude of the two traveling waves that make up this standing wave. (c) What is the length of the string? (d) Find the wavelength, frequency, period, and speed of the traveling waves. (e) Find the maximum transverse speed of a point on the string. (f) What would be the equation y(x, t) for this string if it were vibrating in its eighth harmonic?
