A monatomic ideal gas composed of N atoms, originally with volume V0 and at pressure p0 and temperature T0, expands at constant pressure to five times its initial volume (Vfinal = 5V0). Use kB for Boltzmann's constant. Part C How much heat Q is absorbed by the gas during the expansion? Express the total heat absorbed in terms of p0 and V0.

An ideal monatomic gas consists of N atoms in a volume V. The gas is allowed to expand isothermally to fill a volume 2V. Show that ΔS = Nk_B ln 2.

A 2.5 mol sample of an ideal monatomic gas initially at a temperature of 150 K is expanded irreversibly and adiabatically against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm until its volume has increased from 6.00 L to 10.00 L. Calculate the w, q, ΔU, ΔH, and the final temperature of the gas.

A monatomic ideal gas expands at constant pressure. Is heat added to the system or taken from the system during this process? (b) Find the heat added to or taken from the gas in part (a) if it expands at a pressure of $130 \mathrm{kPa}$ from a volume of $0.76 \mathrm{m}^{3}$ to a volume of $0.93 \mathrm{m}^{3}$
