A 1.00-mol sample of an ideal diatomic gas is allowed to expand. This expansion

Question

A 1.00-mol sample of an ideal diatomic gas is allowed to expand. This expansion is represented by the straight line from 1 to 2 in the PV diagram. The gas is then compressed isothermally. This compression is represented by the curved line from 2 to 1 in the PV diagram. Calculate the work per cycle done by the gas.

in units of kilo joules

This compression is represented by the curved line from 2 to 1 in the PV diagram. Calculate the work per cycle done by the gas. in units of kilo joules

Explanation / Answer

Work done = 8.4 - nRTlog(V1/V2) = 8.4- (24*log(2)) = 1.175J
