Question

Consider nitrogen gas (N_2) at 1000K. What value (in units of R) would you predict for the constant volume heat capacity? Explain how you got your answer. the measured heat capacity is 2.93R. To what do you attribute any difference from your answer in a)? under what conditions would you expect the measured value to approach your answer? Derive an expression for the maximum work obtainable from the isothermal reversible expansion of a gas obeying the van der Waals equation of state, P = nRT/V - nb - an^2/V^2 Using your expression, calculate how much work is done by one mole of carbon dioxide gas at a temperature T = 300.0K expanding from V_i =10.00 dm^3 to V_f = 20.00 dm^3, and compare your value to that calculated if you were to assume ideal gas behavior. For CO_2, use the values a = 3.6561 bar dm^6 mol^-2 and b = 4.2836 Times 10^-2 dm^3 mol^-1.
