Explanation / Answer

iv) FOR THE GIVEN DIATOMIC GAS

(V1, P1) = (1/5, 10000)

(V2, P2) = (1/2, 4000)

(V3, P3) = (1/5, 4000)

a. using PV = nRT

T1 = P1V1/nR

nR = 8 J / K

hence

T1 = P1V1/8 = 250 K

similiarly

T2 = P2V2/8 = 250 K

similiarly

T3 = P3V3/8 = 100 K

b. U(1) = 5 nRT/2 = 20T = 20T1 = 5000J

U(2) = 5000 J

U(3) = 2000 J

c. for process 1 -> 2

volume of the gas increases

i. hence, amoun tof work was done by the gas

ii. now, work done by gas > 0

U(2) - U(1) = 0

hence heat flow is into the gas

beasuee heat flow into the gas H = dU + w

W > 0 hence H > 0

iii. in transition 1 -> 2

heat flows into the gas, so entropy of the gas increases

b. form 2 -> 3

i. volume of the gas decreases

so work is done on the gas

ii. dU = U3 - U2 < 0

hence for dU < 0, w < 0, heat flows out of the gas

iii. since heat flows out of the gas, entropy of the gas decreases

c. form 3 -> 1

i. volume is constant, so no work is done by the gas

ii. U(1) - U(3) = 3000 J > 0

hence

heat flows into the gas

iii. entropy of the gas increases
