Pressure
Two moles of an ideal gas are expanded reversibly and isothermally at o°C from1 atm. Calculate the final
volume (in L) occupied by the gas if the heat absorbed during the process is 750 cal.
Consider a 5 L sample of CO₂(g) in a container with a movable piston at a
temperature of 25 °C and 5.0 atm pressure. The gas is expanded reversibly by
decreasing the pressure to 2.0 atm. Compare the final volume and temperature of
the gas if the process were carried out (a) adiabatically or (b) isothermally.
A) Vf(adiabatic) = Vf(isothermal);
Tf(adiabatic) = Tf(isothermal)
B) Vf(adiabatic) > Vf(isothermal);
Tf(adiabatic) > Tf(isothermal)
C) Vf(adiabatic) Vf(isothermal);
Tf(adiabatic) Tf(isothermal)
