At constant pressure:
-High temps gases have ideal
behavior
-Colder, volume drops and
forms liquid
-Colder yet, volume drops and
forms solid
Exercise. While working on an assignment, Frank does 10000 J of work. In the process,
his internal energy decreases by 20000 J. Find W, ΔU, and Q.
W = -10000 J
ΔU = -20000 J
Q = -10000 J

Exercise 1.
1) We have: PV=nRT
T=
2) Constant pressure process: V1/T1=V2/T2
T2=
21
Exercise 2. We have hydrogen gas of 10 gr, at the pressure 8.2 at. in a can of 20l.
1. What is temperature of the gas?
2. The can of gas is heated up at constant volume to the pressure of 09 at. What is the
final temperature of the gas?
22
Exercise 2.
1) We have: p1V=nRT1
T1=
2) For constant volume process: p1/T1=p2/T2
T2=
23
Exercise 3. We have a gas of 10 gr stored in a can at pressure of 10^7 Pa. Gas is taken
partially from a can to pressure of 2.10^6 Pa. Process occurs at constant temperature.
What is amount of gas taken from the can?
24
Exercise 3.
We have: p1V=n1RT
p2V=n2RT
Therefore,
p2/p1=n2/n1=m2/m1
Amount of gas taken from a can: m=(m1-m2)
