Kinetic Theory of Gas
The Kinetic Theory of gases is a classical model of gases, according to which gases are composed of molecules/particles that are in random motion. While undergoing this random motion, kinetic energy in molecules can assume random velocity across all directions. It also says that the constituent particles/molecules undergo elastic collision, which means that the total kinetic energy remains constant before and after the collision. The average kinetic energy of the particles also determines the pressure of the gas.
P-V Diagram
A P-V diagram is a very important tool of the branch of physics known as thermodynamics, which is used to analyze the working and hence the efficiency of thermodynamic engines. As the name suggests, it is used to measure the changes in pressure (P) and volume (V) corresponding to the thermodynamic system under study. The P-V diagram is used as an indicator diagram to control the given thermodynamic system.

**Scenario:**
5.0 g of nitrogen gas at 20°C and an initial pressure of 2.8 atm undergo a constant-pressure expansion until the volume has tripled.

**Part C:**
**Question:**
How much heat is transferred to the gas to cause this expansion?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
**Detailed Explanation:**
The question pertains to calculating the heat transfer required for an expansion process under constant pressure. The process involves determining the energy exchange as the gas expands and occupies a larger volume.
**Answer:**
\[ Q_{\text{exp}} = 3000 \, \text{J} \]
The calculation shows that 3000 Joules of heat are transferred to the gas.
*Note: The answer is marked as correct.*
Following this expansion, the gas pressure is decreased at constant volume until the original temperature is reached.
