An ideal gas of 1 mol expands reversibly and isothermally at 480 K until Vf/Vi=3. Using R=8.314 J/(mol·K), find work done by the gas. Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed. Answer in J.

Answer and explanation

4384.254 J

Wby = (1)(8.314)(480) ln(3).

A reversible heat engine works between 210 K and 560 K. Find its Carnot efficiency as a percentage. Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed. Answer in %.

Answer and explanation

62.5 %

η = 1 − 210/560. Multiply the fraction by 100 for percent.

University · Thermodynamics

Using R=8.314 J/(mol·K), calculate the internal energy of 14 mol of a classical monatomic ideal gas at 420 K. Round the final result to 4 decimal places if needed. Answer in J.

Answer and explanation

73329.48 J

Three quadratic translational terms contribute RT/2 each per mole. Therefore U=(3/2)(14)R(420).
