Using the equation of state pV = nRT and the specific heat per mole Cv = 3R/2 for a monotomic ideal gas, find its Helmholtz free energy F as a function of number of moles n, V and T.

Step 1
First, we need to express the Helmholtz free energy F in terms of the internal energy U and the entropy S: F = U - TS Show more…

Let $n$ Moles Let $n$ moles of an ideal gas expand adiabatically from an initial temperature $T_{1}$ to a final temperature $T_{2}$. Prove that the work done by the gas is $n C_{V}\left(T_{1}-T_{2}\right)$, where $C_{V}$ is the molar specific heat at constant volume. (Hint: Use the first law of thermodynamics)
In an adiabatic expansion of one mole of an ideal gas from an initial temperature of 25°C, the work produced is 1200 J. If Cv = 3/2R, calculate the final temperature, Q, W, ∆U, and ∆H.
