Consider the following cyclic process carried out in two steps on a gas: Step 1: 45 J of heat is added to the gas, and 10. J of expansion work is performed. Step 2: 60. J of heat is removed from the gas as the gas is compressed back to the initial state. Calculate the work for the gas compression in Step 2.
Consider a balloon filled with helium at the following conditions. 313 g He 1.00 atm 1910.

Determine q, w, and E(in KJ) for the compression of the balloon.
9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
A 220-L cylinder contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 150 atm. If the gas is allowed to expand against a constant opposing pressure of 1.0 atm, how much work is done? The expansion will stop when the internal pressure equals the external pressure. Use Boyles law to determine the final volume.

Consider 5.5 L of a gas at a pressure of 3.0 atm in a cylinder with a movable piston. The external pressure is changed so that the volume changes to 10.5 L. a. Calculate the work done, and indicate the correct sign. b. Use the preceding data but consider the process to occur in two steps. At the end of the first step, the volume is 7.0 L. The second step results in a final volume of 10.5 L. Calculate the work done, and indicate the correct sign. c. Calculate the work done if after the first step the volume is 8.0 L and the second step leads to a volume of 10.5 L. Does the work differ from that in part b? Explain.

A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 C to 27.93 C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?
A piston performs work of 210. L atm on the surroundings, while the cylinder in which it is placed expands from 10. L to 25 L. At the same time, 45 J of heat is transferred from the surroundings to the system. Against what pressure was the piston working?
In earlier times, ethyl ether was commonly used as an anesthetic. It is, however, highly flammable. When five milliliters of ethyl ether, C4H10O(l)(d=0.714g/mL), are burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 23.5C to 39.7C.
