Question
You have two containers of a monatomic ideal gas that are intially at the same Pressure, Volume, and Temperature.
You add 530 J of heat to container 1 in a constant temperature process.
You add 530 J of heat to container 2 in a constant pressure process.
What is the difference in work done in these processes, 1 - 2? In other words, if W1 is the work done in process 1 and W2 is the work done in process 2, what is W1 - W2?
Give you answer in Joules to three significant digits. Do not include units with your answer.
explain your work please!!
Explanation / Answer
in first case where temp is constant.. all the heat will turn into Worl so W1 = 530 J
in case 2 (constant pressure) some heat is used in increasing temp rest is work... but to calculate this we need additional data like Specific heat at constant pressure i.e. CP
