A gas expands from I to F in the figure below. The energy added to the gas by heat is 276 J when the gas goes from I to F along the diagonal path. A pressure-volume graph consists of points and line segments plotted on a coordinate plane, where the horizontal axis is V (liters)and the vertical axis is P (atm). Three points are plotted: point I at (2, 4) point A at (4, 4) point F at (4, 1) Line segments connect the three points to form a triangle. Arrows along the line segments point from I to A, from A to F, and from I to F. (a) What is the change in internal energy of the gas? J (b) How much energy must be added to the gas by heat along the indirect path IAF?

Maxwell speed distribution

Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution or commonly known as Maxwell speed distribution, explains the division of the energy levels of the molecules of an ideal gas on the basis of the statistical theory. In 1859, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell established the context for the distribution of molecular velocities for random molecules moving in a closed environment. This theory was generalized in 1871 by German physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. He improvised the theory to express the distribution of energy levels among different molecules.
