Answer to Problem 20P

The total work done on the gas is 1.37kJ_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the total work done when the gas follows the constant temperature path followed by constant pressure path.

    Wtotal=Wt+Wp                                                                                                         (I)

Here, Wtotal is the total work done, Wt is the work done by constant temperature, Wv is the work done by constant volume.

it can be shown from the PV curve that the work done on an ideal gas during constant temperature expansion or contraction from volume vI to volume vF can be represented as,

    Wt=nRTlnViVf                                                                                                     (II)

Here, Wtotal is the work done by the gas under constant temperature, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, Vi is the initial volume, Vf is the final volume.

Write the expression for ideal gas equation.

    PV=nRT                                                                                                             (III)

Here, P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas.

Solve equation (III) for T,

    T=PVnR                                                                                                                 (IV)

Use equation (IV) in equation (II),

    Wt=nR(PVnR)lnViVf=PVlnViVf                                                                                                (V)

Write the expression for work done by the gas at constant pressure.

    Wp=PiΔV                                                                                                           (VI)

Here, Wp is the work done at constant pressure, ΔV is the change in volume.

Use equation (IV) and (III) in equation (I),

    Wtotal=PVlnViVfPiΔV                                                                                     (VII)

Rearrange equation (V) for work done when the gas follows the constant temperature path AC followed by the constant pressure path CD.

    Wtotal=PAVAlnVAVCPiΔV                                                                                    (VIII)

Conclusion:

Substitute 2.00atm for PA, 4.00L for VA, 8.00L for VC, 1.00atm for PI,8.00L for ΔV in equation (VIII) to find Wtotal.

    Wtotal=(2.00atm)(4.00L)ln(4.00L8.00L)(1.00atm)(8.00L)=[(2.00atm)(4.00L)ln(4.00L8.00L)(1.00atm)(8.00L)](1.013×105Pa/atm)×1m31000L=1.37kJ

Therefore, the total work done on the gas is 1.37kJ_.

Answer to Problem 20P

The total change in internal energy is 1.22kJ_ and total heat flow into the gas is 2.59kJ_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the change in internal energy.

    ΔU=nCVΔT                                                                                                         (IX)

Here, ΔU is the change in internal energy, CV is the specific heat at constant volume, ΔT is the change in temperature.

Write the expression for the total heat flows into the gas.

    Q=ΔUW                                                                                                            (X)

Write the expression for the specific heat at constant volume.

    CV=32R                                                                                                               (XI)

Use equation (X) and equation (IV) in equation (IX),

    ΔU=32nR(PΔVnR)=32PΔV                                                                                             (XII)

Conclusion:

Substitute 1.00atm for P, 8.00L for ΔV in equation (XII) to find ΔU.

    ΔU=32(1.00atm)(8.00L)=[32(1.00atm)(8.00L)]×(1.013×105Pa/atm)×1m31000L=1.22kJ

Substitute 1.37kJ for W and 1.22kJ for ΔU in equation (X) to find Q.

    Q=1.22kJ(1.37kJ)=2.59kJ

Therefore, The total change in internal energy is 1.22kJ_ and total heat flow into the gas is 2.59kJ_.
