Expert Solution

(D)

Use the following formula,

       PV = nRT

(1.7x 105 pa) V = (0.2) (8.31) (320)

                      V = 0.00313 m3

During compression,

V1= initial volume = 0.00313 m3

V2= final volume = V1/2 = 0.00313/2 m3 = 0.00156 m3

T1 = initial temperature = 320 K

Use the formula,

V1/T1 = V2/T2

0.00313 /320 = 1.56 x 10-3 /T2

                 T2 = 150 K

During adiabatic expansion,

P1 = initial pressure = 1.7 x 105 pa

V1 = initial Volume = 1.56 x 10-3

V2= final volume = 0.00313

P2 = final pressure

For adiabatic process

P1 V1 = P2 V2

For diatomic gas nitrogen, = 1.4

(1.7 x 105 ) (1.56 x 10-3 )1.4 = P2 (0.00313)1.4

                                                     P2 = 6.44 x 104 pa

The work done is given as,

W = (P2 V2 - P1 V1) / (1 - )

W = ((6.44 x 104 pa ) (0.00313) - (1.7 x 105 ) (1.56 x 10-3 )) / (1-1.4)

W = 158.93 J

(E)

Heat added = Q =0

(F)

From the first law of thermodynamics,

Q = U + W

U = Q - W = 0 – 158.93 J

U = -158.93 J
