Step 1
Given that the volume triples while maintaining the same pressure, we have V1/T1 = V2/T2. Since V2 = 3V1, we can rewrite the equation as V1/T1 = 3V1/T2. This simplifies to T2 = 3T1. Show more…

A monatomic ideal gas expands slowly to twice its original volume, doing $400 \mathrm{~J}$ of work in the process. Find the heat added to the gas and the change in internal energy of the gas if the process is (a) isothermal; (b) adiabatic; (c) isobaric.
