22. The First Law of Thermodynamics

Two moles of an ideal gas are heated at constant pressure from $T = 27$°C to $T = 107$°C. Draw a $pV$-diagram for this process.

Two moles of an ideal gas are heated at constant pressure from $T=27$°C to $T=107$°C. Calculate the work done by the gas.

An ideal gas is taken from $a$ to $b$ on the $pV$-diagram shown in Fig. E$19.15$. During this process, $700$ J of heat is added and the pressure doubles. How does the internal energy of the gas at $a$ compare to the internal energy at $b$? Be specific and explain.

Figure E$19.8$ shows a $pV$-diagram for an ideal gas in which its absolute temperature at $b$ is one-fourth of its absolute temperature at $a$. Did heat enter or leave the gas from $a$ to $b$? How do you know?

80 J of work are done on the gas in the process shown in FIGURE EX19.3. What is V₁ in cm³?

–60 J of work are done on the gas in the process shown in FIGURE EX19.2. What is p₁ in kPa?

Draw a first-law bar chart (see Figure 19.12) for the gas process in FIGURE EX19.7.

One liter of air is cooled at constant pressure until its volume is halved, and then it is allowed to expand isothermally back to its original volume. Draw the process on a PV diagram.

Sketch a PV diagram of the following process: 2.5 L of ideal gas at atmospheric pressure is cooled at constant pressure to a volume of 1.0 L, and then expanded isothermally back to 2.5 L, after which the pressure is increased at constant volume until the original pressure is reached.

A 1.0-L volume of air initially at 3.5 atm of (gauge)pressure is allowed to expand isothermally until the (gauge) pressure is 1.0 atm. It is then compressed at constant pressure to its initial volume, and lastly is brought back to its original pressure by heating at constant volume. How much work does the 1.0 L of air do in this process?

In the process of taking a gas from state a to state c along the curved path shown in Fig. 19–33, 85 J of heat leaves the system and 55 J of work is done on the system. Determine the change in internal energy, $E_{\text{int,a}}-E_{\text{int,c}}$.

In the process of taking a gas from state a to state c along the curved path shown in Fig. 19–33, 85 J of heat leaves the system and 55 J of work is done on the system. When the gas is taken along the path cda, the work done by the gas is W = 38 J. How much heat Q is added to the gas in the process cda?
