Physics

A 25-L sample of an ideal gas with ? = 1.67 is at 250 K and 50kPa. The gas is compressed adiabatically until its pressuretriples, then cooled at constant volume back to 250 K, and finallyallowed to expand isothermally to its original state.

a. Sketch this cyclical process in a pV diagram (the sketchshould be drawn to scale and labelled).

b. How much work is done on the gas?

c. For each step in the process determine the heat energy.

By using PVnRT we can solve for n isothermal work is nRTlnV2V1 1375 joules now at state 2 the gas is heated to a point on the adiabatic line that passes through the original    See Answer
