Answer to Question #345698 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Beth

Question

1.0 mol of an ideal gas starts at 1.0 atm and 77°F and does 1 KJ of work during an adiabatic expansion. Calculate the final volume of the gas express your answer in litres.

Answer 1

$pV_1=\nu RT,\implies$

$V_1=\frac{\nu RT}p=24.4~l,$

$∆V=\frac Qp=9.9~l,$

$V_2=V_1+∆V=34.3~l.$
