Question

An ideal monatomic gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston so that the gas can do work on the outside world, and heat can be added or removed as necessary. The figure (Figure 1) shows various paths that the gas might take in expanding from an initial state whose pressure, volume, and temperature are p0, V0, and T0 respectively. The gas expands to a state with final volume 4V0. For some answers it will be convenient to generalize your results by using the variable Rv. Part E Calculate WA, the work done by the gas as it expands along path A from V0 to VA = RvV0. Express WA in terms of p0, V0, and Rv.

Step 1

Along path A, the pressure is constant, so we can take it out of the integral: W = P∫dV Now, we need to determine the limits of integration. The gas expands from V0 to V = RV0, so the limits of integration are V0 and RV0: W = P∫[V0, RV0] dV Integrating, we Show more…
