Question

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure. When 254 kcal of heat is added to the gas, the volume is observed to increase slowly from 12.0 m ^3 to 16.2 m ^3. Calculate a) the work done by the gas and b) the change in internal energy of the gas.

Accepted Answer

a) 4.25 x 10^5 J  b) 6.38 x 10^5 J

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure. When 254 kcal of heat is added to the gas, the volume is observed to increase slowly from $12.0 \textrm{ m}^3$ to $16.2 \textrm{ m}^3$ . Calculate
