Question
Consider 2.0 moles of a monatomic perfect gas initially at T1 = 300 K and p1 = 5.0 bar. The heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure for this gas are Cv = (3/2)R and Cp = (5/2)R, respectively.
a.) The system follows a reversible isothermal compression step to double the pressure of the container, determine the value of p2, V2, w, q, delta U, delta H, delta S, delta G for this step. Make sure to show your work and provide units.
b.) Step A is followed by a constant pressure step to expand to its original volume, determine the value of T2, w, q, delta U, delta H, delta S for this step.
c.) The loop is closed by following a reversible constant volume step. Determine the value of w, q, delta U, delta H, delta S for this step. Make sure to show your work and provide units.
