A Problem that Deals with Ideal Gases
Not what you're looking for?
For a certain ideal gas, Cv = 2.5R for all temperatures. Calculate q, w, ΔU and ΔH when 2.00 mol of this gas undergoes each of the following processes:
(a) a reversible expansion at a constant pressure of 1 bar from a volume of 20.0 dm3 to 40.0 dm3.
(b) a reversible isothermal compression from (0.50 bar, 40.0 dm3) to (1 bar, 20.0 dm3).
There are so many aspects with this problem that I dont know where to start let alone how to finish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
