Question
A volume of 1.50 L of argon gas is confined in a cylinder with a movable piston under a constant pressure of $1.22 \times 10^{5}$ Pa. When $1.25 \mathrm{kJ}$ of energy in the form of heat is transferred from the surroundings to the gas, the internal energy of the gas increases by 1.11 kJ. What is the final volume of argon gas in the cylinder?
Step 1
Mathematically, this is represented as: \[\Delta U = Q - W\] where $\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy, $Q$ is the heat added to the system, and $W$ is the work done by the system. Show more…

A cylinder with a movable piston holds 2.95 mol of argon at a constant temperature of 235 K. As the gas is compressed isothermally, its pressure increases from 101 kPa to 121 kPa. Find (a) the final volume of the gas.
A gas contained in a cylinder that has a piston is kept at a constant pressure of $2.80 \times 105 \mathrm{~Pa} 2.80 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}$. The gas expands from $0.500 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$ to $1.50 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$ when $300 \mathrm{~kJ}$ of heat is added to the cylinder. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?
A cylinder with a movable piston holds 2.75 mol of argon at a constant temperature of $295 \mathrm{K}$. As the gas is compressed isothermally, its pressure increases from 101 kPa to 121 kPa. Find $(a)$ the final volume of the gas, $(b)$ the work done by the gas, and $(c)$ the heat added to the gas.
