First Law of Thermodynamics: A cylinder contains 8.8 moles of ideal gas, initially at a temperature of 126°C. The cylinder is provided with a frictionless piston, which maintains a constant pressure of 5.3 × 105 Pa on the gas. The gas is cooled until its temperature has decreased to 27°C. For the gas Cv = 13.73 J/mol ? K. The ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/mol ? K. For this process, calculate:(a) the work done by gas(b) the net change in the internal (thermal) energy of the gas(c) the heat transferred to the gas.

What will be an ideal response?


(a) -7200 J (b) -12,000 J (c) -19,000 J
