The gas in a piston (defined as the system) is warmed and absorbs 655 J of heat. The expansion performs 346 J of work on the surroundings.

Part A

What is the change in internal energy for the system?

Expert Solution

Ans. Change in internal energy, dU = q + w - equation 1

Where,

q = heat gained.

By convention, heat gained by system is denoted by “+ q” or positive value of q.

So, q = 655 J = + 655 J

w = work done by system.

By convention, work done by system is a “- w” or negative value of w.

So, w = - 346 J

Putting the values in equation 1-

dU = 655 J + (- 346 J) = 655 J – 346 J = + 309 J = 309 J

Hence, change in internal energy = 309 J

Note: The + sign of dU indicates that the system gained 309 J of energy during the change.

A gas is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 40 in2 and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lbf/in2 on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases slowly by 2 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between the piston and cylinder can be...

A sample of calcium carbonate [CaCO3 (s)] absorbs 45.5 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 21.1C to 28.5C. If the specific heat of calcium carbonate is 0.82 J/g-K, what is the mass (in grams) of the sample? I have this answer: heat absorbed = mass of sample * specific heat of sample * change in temp of the sample 45.5 = mass * 0.82 * (28.5-21.1) mass = 7.5 g But my main question...
