A 10.0 mol sample of an IG with a CV,m = 1.5R undergoes reversible isothermal compression from 0.200 to 0.500 atm at 373K.
a. Calculate the initial and final volumes.
b. q
c. w
d. ∆U
ANSWER= GIVEN DATA = P1=0.200 ATM, P2=0.500 ATM, T=373 KELVIN, n=10 MOLE, R=1.987 (CONSTANT)
NOW WORK IN REVERSIBLE ISOTHERMAL COMPRESSION =2.303nRTlog10 (P2/P1)
1 INITIAL AND FINAL VOLUME ===> ITS ALWAYS BE INVERSE OF PRESSURE ACCORDING TO BOYAL LAW OF GASES BUT WORK SHOULD BE SAME AS FORMULA =2.303nRTlog10(P2/P1)=2.303nRTlog10(V1/V2)
so that V1 =INITIAL VOLUME =0.500 LITER, AND FINAL VOLME v2=0.200 LITER
2..HERE PROCESS IS ISOTHERMAL SO T=0 SO NO CANGE IN INTERNAL ENERGY =U =0
according to first law of thermodynamic U=q - W so that 0=q- W so q=W
so here q=6.987 kcal (see third point work value because both will be same)
3...work ==>
SO USE GIVEN DATA TO FIND WORK=2.303*10*1.987*373*log10(0.500/0.200)
AFTER CALCULATION RESULT IS ===>6987 CAL=6.987 KCAL
4. internal energy U=0
