Question
For the situation of the preceding problem, find (a) the increase in the gas temperature and (b) the heat that must then be removed to return the gas to its original temperature.
Step 1
9V_1$. We are also given that the pressure is constant, so we can use the ideal gas law in the form $V/T = constant$ to find the new temperature $T_2$. This gives us the equation $V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2$. Show more…

In the isothermal compression of a gas, the volume occupied by the gas is decreasing, but the temperature of the gas remains constant. In order for this to happen, a) heat must enter the gas. b) heat must exit the gas. c) no heat exchange should take place between the gas and the surroundings.
(II) Consider the following two-step process. Heat is allowed to flow out of an ideal gas at constant volume so that its pressure drops from 2.2 atm to 1.4 atm. Then the gas expands at constant pressure, from a volume of 5.9 L to 9.3 L, where the temperature reaches its original value. See Fig.15$-$22. Calculate ($a$) the total work done by the gas in the process, ($b$) the change in internal energy of the gas in the process, and ($c$) the total heat flow into or out of the gas.

(II) Consider the following two-step process. Heat is allowed to flow out of an ideal gas at constant volume so that its pressure drops from 2.2 $\mathrm{atm}$ to 1.4 $\mathrm{atm}$ . Then the gas expands at constant pressure, from a volume of 6.8 $\mathrm{L}$ to 9.3 $\mathrm{L}$ , where the temperature reaches its original value. See Fig. $15-22$ . Calculate (a) the total work done by the gas in the process, $(b)$ the change in internal energy of the gas in the process, and $(c)$ the total heat flow into or out of the gas
