An ideal gas resides in a closed cylinder (diameter is 0.5 ft) with a frictionless piston. The initial conditions are 139 mol of
the ideal gas at 25°C. The piston is compressed isothermally to one third of the initial volume. The heat capacity C_v of an ideal gas is 1.5 middot R. Required:
a. What is the heat interaction (kJ) for this process?
b. The piston now expands isothermally to 120% of the same initial volume. Will the heat interaction increase, decrease, or stay the same?
a. In this case, since the heat involved during a compression-expansion isothermal process is computed via:
Now, since the final volume is one third of the initial one:
So we can plug in now:
b. In this case, the relationship between initial and final volume is:
So the heat interaction is now:
It means that the heat interaction decrease on the contrary process, it means that in a. heat was released by 3.79e5 J and in b heat is absorbed by 2.72e5 J.
