Answer key 6-10( Solution)

6. Given: Vf =50 cm2 Vi =15 cm P= 121 kpa

Reqd. Calculate the work done by the system

Soln.: w= -Pex∆ V

1m 3
∆ V =¿50 cm2) (15 cm x ( ) = 7.5x10-4m3
100 cm

1000 Pa
w= 121 kPa x x 7.5x10-4m3 = -90.75 J
1 kpa

P 1 V nRT 1 P1 T 2 (111 kPa) x (356 K )

7. = or P 2= = =146.22
P 2 V nRT 2 T1 (277 K )

J
8. q=.∫ CvdT = Cv∆T = (2.5)(8.3145 )(2.00 mol)(356-277) K= 3284.23 J
K−mol

9. ∆ U =q+ w=3284.23 J

10. There is no change in volume so w=0
