Four moles of a monatomic ideal gas are taken through a three-process thermodynamic cycle. The gas initially has a pressure of 8.00 atm with a temperature of 600 K (point A). The gas it then expanded isothermally to point B where the volume is 48.0 L. The gas is compressed via an isobarically process (point C). The gas is then expanded adiabatically back to its initial state. For all calculations using the ideal gas law assume that R = 0.08 (L atm) / (mol K). For any calculations of work, heat, internal energy, or entropy use R = 8.0 J / (mol K).

a. Compute all unknown pressures, temperatures, and volumes and organize them into a table.

b. Find the work done going from point C to point A?

c. What is the heat added to the system going from A to B?

d. What is the change in internal energy going from B to C?

e. What is the change in entropy going from A to B?

Expert Solution

Here we apply definition of thermodynamics processes and first law of thermodynamics as well as ideal gas law.
