Question
A sample of monatomic ideal gas occupies 5.00 L at atmospheric pressure and 300 K (point A). It is warmed at constant volume to 3.00 atm (point B). Then it is allowed to expand isothermally to 1.00 atm (point C) and at last compressed isobarically to its original state. (a) Find the number of moles in the sample. moles (b) Find the temperature at point B. K (c) Find the temperature at point C. K (d) Find the volume at point C. L (e) Now consider the processes A → B, B → C, and C → A. Describe just how to carry out each process experimentally. This answer has not been graded yet. (f) Find Q, W, and ΔEint for each of the processes. Q (kJ) W (kJ) Eint (kJ) A → B B → C C → A (g) For the whole cycle A → B → C → A, find Q, W, and ΔEint. Q = kJ W = kJ Eint = kJ

Answer:
(a) 0.203 moles
(b) 900 K
(c) 900 K
(d) 15 L
(e) A → B, W = 0, Q = Eint = 1,518.91596 J
B → C, W = Q ≈ 1668.69974 J Eint = 0 J
C → A, Q = -2,531.5266 J, W = -1,013.25 J, Eint = -1,518.91596 J
(g) ∑Q = 656.089 J, ∑W = 655.449 J, ∑Eint = 0 J
Explanation:
At point A
The volume of the gas, V₁ = 5.00 L
The pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1 atm
The temperature of the gas, T₁ = 300 K
At point B
The volume of the gas, V₂ = V₁ = 5.00 L
The pressure of the gas, P₂ = 3.00 atm
The temperature of the gas, T₂ = Not given
At point C
The volume of the gas, V₃ = Not given
The pressure of the gas, P₃ = 1 atm
The temperature of the gas, T₂ = T₃ = 300 K
(a) The ideal gas equation is given as follows;
P·V = n·R·T
Where;
P = The pressure of the gas
V = The volume of the gas
n = The number of moles present
R = The universal gas constant = 0.08205 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
n = PV/(R·T)
∴ The number of moles, n = 1 × 5/(0.08205 × 300) ≈ 0.203 moles
The number of moles in the sample, n ≈ 0.203 moles
(b) The process from points A to B is a constant volume process, therefore, we have, by Gay-Lussac’s law;
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
∴ T₂ = P₂·T₁/P₁
From which we get;
T₂ = 3.0 atm. × 300 K/(1.00 atm.) = 900 K
The temperature at point B, T₂ = 900 K
(c) The process from points B to C is a constant temperature process, therefore, T₃ = T₂ = 900 K
(d) For a constant temperature process, according to Boyle’s law, we have;
P₂·V₂ = P₃·V₃
V₃ = P₂·V₂/P₃
∴ V₃ = 3.00 atm. × 5.00 L/(1.00 atm.) = 15 L
The volume at point C, V₃ = 15 L
(e) The process A → B, which is a constant volume process, can be carried out in a vessel with a fixed volume
The process B → C, which is a constant temperature process, can be carried out in an insulated adjustable vessel
The process C → A, which is a constant pressure process, can be carried out in an adjustable vessel with a fixed amount of force applied to the piston
(f) For A → B, W = 0,
Q = Eint = n·cv·(T₂ – T₁)
Cv for monoatomic gas = 3/2·R
∴ Q = 0.203 moles × 3/2×0.08205 L·atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹×(900 K – 300 K) = 1,518.91596 J
Q = Eint = 1,518.91596 J
For B → C, we have a constant temperature process
Q = n·R·T₂·㏑(V₃/V₂)
∴ Q = 0.203 moles × 0.08205 L·atm/(mol·K) × 900 K × ln(15 L/5.00 L) ≈ 1668.69974 J
Eint = 0
Q = W ≈ 1668.69974 J
For C → A, we have a constant pressure process
Q = n·Cp·(T₁ – T₃)
∴ Q = 0.203 moles × (5/2) × 0.08205 L·atm/(mol·K) × (300 K – 900 K) = -2,531.5266 J
Q = -2,531.5266 J
W = P·(V₂ – V₁)
∴ W = 1.00 atm × (5.00 L – 15.00 L) = -1,013.25 J
W = -1,013.25 J
Eint = n·Cv·(T₁ – T₃)
Eint = 0.203 moles × (3/2) × 0.08205 L·atm/(mol·K) × (300 K – 900 K) = -1,518.91596 J
Eint = -1,518.91596 J
(g) ∑Q = 1,518.91596 J + 1668.69974 J – 2,531.5266 J = 656.089 J
∑W = 0 + 1668.69974 J -1,013.25 J = 655.449 J
∑Eint = 1,518.91596 J + 0 -1,518.91596 J = 0 J
