First Law of Thermodynamics: An expansion process on an ideal diatomic ideal gas for which CV = 5/2 R has a linear path between the initial and final coordinates on a pV diagram. The coordinates of the initial state are: the pressure is 300 kPa, the volume is 0.030 m3, and the temperature is 390 K. The final pressure is 150 kPa and the final temperature is 340 K. What is the change in the internal (thermal) energy of the gas, during this process? (R = 8.31 J/mol ? K)

A. -2900 J
B. -1700 J
C. 2900 J
D. 1700 J
E. 0 J
