QA
QB
of the energy transferred to gases A and B?
2.5 mol of an ideal gas expands isothermally from an initial volume of 50 L to a final volume of 66 L at T = 300 K. Determine the
work done (in kJ) on the gas during this process.
A monatomic ideal gas undergoes an isothermal expansion at 300 K, as the volume increased from 0.020 to [2*v1] m³.The final pressure is 119.41kPa. The ideal gas
constant is R = 8.314 J/mol · K.
What is the heat transfer Q to the gas in kilojoules? Please enter your numerical answer with two decimal places. (for example for 2090 J, enter 2.09 )
