Answer to Question #344400 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for rox

Question

A monatomic ideal gas at 27.0°C undergoes a constant volume process from A to B and a constant-pressure process from B to C.

where P1 = 2.70, P2 = 5.40, V1 = 2.70, and V2 = 5.40.

Find the total work done on the gas during these two processes.

Answer 1

$A=p_2V_2-p_1V_1=21.87~kJ.$
