When we drive at higher speeds for an extended period, the tire warms, and the air within expands and increases pressure. The increase in tire pressure is mostly evident in drag racing. Let us imagine that you are in a drag racing competition. Your pit stop team wanted to know the change in internal energy of the tire in your car in BTU. Before the race, the tire was initially pumped to 107 psig of air. At the first pit stop, the recorded tire pressure was 117 psig. The volume of the tire remained constant at 0.017 ft³ and the C₂ = 7.7 BTU lbmol-°F*

Gas is sealed within a beaker with a movable piston top. You decide to place the beaker into a bucket of ice, which causes 60 J of heat to flow out of the beaker. You also push down on the top, compressing the gas inside and doing 20 J of work. What is the change in internal energy, in Joules, for the gas in the beaker?
Compressed air can be pumped underground into huge caverns as a form of energy storage. The volume of a cavern is 6.3 x 105 m³, 5 and the pressure of the air in it is 7.4 × 106 Pa. Assume that air is a diatomic ideal gas whose internal energy U is given by U = nRT. If one home uses 30.0 kWh of energy per day, how many homes could this internal energy serve for one day?
I need help solving number 11. In question 1, they say U=(3/2)PV I found work on the gas as -3/2PV, so therefore Q should be 6/2PV but the answer key says 6PV.
We place a 1-mole sample of an ideal monoatomic gas in a cylinder with a piston and we heat the gas so it expands and performs work against the piston. Suppose the temperature of the gas increases by 85∘C while at the same time it performs 8.20×102 J of work. What is the change of internal energy of the gas in this process? How much heat does the gas absorb during this process?
