(a) Starting with the expression W= -[ P dV and using the condition PV = con- stant, show that the work done on the gas is w= ( |(P.V,– P,V,) (b) Starting with the first law of thermodynamics, show that the work done on the gas is equal to nC,(T, – T). (c) Are these two results consistent with each other? Explain.

A monatomic ideal gas initially has a temperature of 330k and preassure of 3x105 Pa. The gas expands from a volume of 500cm3 to a volume of 1500cm3. l) Calculate the change in internal energy (in Joules), if the expansion is adiabatic. the answer must be => (150)ln(3)J NOTICE : The work in adiabatic process equals the change in internal energy. So, w = - Δu = - (g/2*n*r*Δt) pΔV=nRΔT, thus: Δu = g/2*pΔV The answer is right, so, calculate the change in internal energy using this formula : Δu = g/2*pΔV
