Question

one mole of Argon gas (behaving ideally) starts at 3 bar of pressure and a volume of 3Lstarts at temperature T. 1. Step a: It is cooled at constant volume until the pressure is 1 bar. 2, Step b: Then it is heated at constant pressure to a volume of 9 L 3. Step c: Finally, there is an isothermal compression to return the gas to the original pressure and volume and temperature. Answer all questions. You must show work (not just write a number) or explain your answer if no calculation is required. a.) What is the temperature of the original gas? b.) What is the temperature after step a? c.) What is the temperature after step b? d.) What is the temperature after step c? e.) on the same graph, draw a P-v diagram and label all three steps and all three mentioned points with P, T, and V values.

Explanation / Answer

Where T1= 108K, P1=3 bar, P2= 1bar and T2= P2T1/P1= 1*108/3= 36 K
