An ideal monatomic gas is contained in a vessel of constant volume 0.230 m3. the initial temperature and pressure of the gas are 300 k and 5.00 atm, respectively. the goal of this problem is to find the temperature and pressure of the gas after 23.0 kj of thermal energy is supplied to the gas.

a)n= 46 .69 moles

b)

c)W = 0

d)ΔU = 23 KJ

e)ΔT= 39.05 K

g)T₂= 339.05 K

P₂ = 5.65 atm

Explanation:

Given that

V₁=V₂ = 0.23 m³ = 230  L

T₁ = 300 K

P₁ = 5 atm        ( 1 atm =100 KPa)

Q = 23 KJ

The ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

P=Pressure  ,  V=Volume  ,  n= Number of moles  , T=Temperature

R=gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/K.mol

P₁ V₁ = n R T₁

n= 46 .69 moles

Specific heat ;

The specific heat of the gas Cv

R=8.314 J / mol·K

We know that work done given as

W = P ΔV

ΔV =Change in volume ,P =pressure

here ΔV = 0

W = 0

First law of thermodynamics

Q= ΔU +W

Q= ΔU = 23 KJ

ΔU =Change in the internal energy

Q = n Cv ΔT

23 000 = 46.69 x 12.47 ΔT

ΔT= 39.05 K

Change in the temperature =39.05 K

T₂- 300 = 39.05 K

T₂= 339.05 K

P₂ = 5.65 atm

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

graph slopes whilst gas cools, then it is flat whilst conensation to liquid happens, the coolong liquid then graphs as a slope when it solidifies graph is flat
