A sample of N molecules of ideal gas expands with no energy transferred into or out of the gas by heating. The pressure and volume of the gas are measured as it expands, and a graph of pressure as a function of volume is used to calculate the work done by the gas. Which of the following indicates a quantity for the gas that can be determined using the calculated work and justifies why it can be determined? Select two answers. The magnitude of the change in internal energy of the gas can be determined. If no energy is transferred by heating, the magnitude A of the change in internal energy equals the magnitude of the work done by the gas. The change in potential energy of the gas can be determined. The internal energy of the gas equals its potential energy plus its kinetic energy, and the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy of the gas equals the work done by the gas. The magnitude of the change in the average kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas can be determined. The magnitude…
