- Consider 2.00 moles of an ideal gas that are taken from state A (PA = 2.00 atm, vA = 10.0 L) to state B (PB = 1.00 attn, VB = 30.0 L) by two different pathways: These pathways are summarized on the following graph of P versus V: Calculate the work (in units of J) associated with two pathways. Is work a state function? Explain.arrow_forwardThe diagram below depicts an ideal monatomic gas which is compressed isobarically at p = 1.38×10° Pa from state A (V = 6.32×10 m³) to 6 3 3 state B (V=3.7x10 m³) where its temperature becomes T = 305°C. Its pressure is then increased at constant volume from state B to C and finally expanded isothermally until it returns to its initial state A. How much work is done by the gas and what is its temperature when it expanded during the isothermal process? C Pc B PA = PB A VB = VC VA The temperature of the gas during the Isothermal process is 247.8 K and the work done by the gas is 2.734 kJ. The temperature of the gas during the isothermal process is 987.5°C and the work. done by the gas is 2573 kl. The temperature of the gas during the isothermal process is 714.4°C and the work done by the gas is 4.669 kJ. The temperature of the gas during the isothermal process is 521.0 K and the work done by the gas is 1358 kJ.arrow_forwardHow do I go about this question?arrow_forward

System B is compressed isothermally to half its original volume. System C is compressed isobarically to half its original volume. Which of the three systems requires the greatest work input? System B requires the greatest work input All three systems require equal work System A requires the greatest work input Unable to determine, since the intitial volumes of the systems are not given.

The gas starts out at point 1 with a volume of ?1=233 cm3, a pressure of ?1=235 kPa, and a temperature of 287 K. The gas is held at a constant volume while it is heated until its temperature reaches 455 K (point 2). The gas is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its pressure is again 235 kPa (point 3). The gas is maintained at this pressure while it is cooled back to its original temperature of 287K (point 1 again).
