A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains butane at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 500 \mathrm{kPa}$. Can the butane reasonably be assumed to behave as an ideal gas at this state?

A frictionless piston-cylinder device and a rigid tank initially contain $12 \mathrm{~kg}$ of an ideal gas each at the same temperature, pressure, and volume. We wish to raise the temperatures of both systems by $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Determine the amount of extra heat that must be supplied to the gas in the cylinder, which is maintained at constant pressure to achieve this result. Assume the molar mass of the gas is 25 .
An ideal gas is placed in a tall cylindrical jar of cross- sectional area 0.080 $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ . A frictionless 0.10 -kg movable piston is placed vertically into the jar such that the piston's weight is supported by the gas pressure in the jar. When the gas is heated (at constant pressure) from $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $55^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ , the piston rises 1.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ . How much heat was required for this process? Assume atmospheric pressure outside.
