1) Two moles of ideal gas are at 200C and a pressure of 200 kPa. If
P (atm)
the gas is heated to 400C, and its pressure is reduced by 38%, what is
the new volume? (R = 8.31 J mol-1 K-1)
A
2) A sample of an ideal gas is taken along process ABC (see Figure 2.0
1). Heat is allowed to flow out from the gas at constant volume so
that its pressure drops from 2 atm to 1 atm. Then the gas expands at
constant pressure, from a volume of 2 m3 to 4 m3, where the 1.0
temperature reaches its initial value. Calculate:

(a) the total work done by the gas in the process.
(b) the change in internal energy of the gas in the process.
(c) the total heat flow into or out of the gas. 0 2.0 4.0 V (m3)

3) One mole of an ideal monatomic gas is initially at a temperature
of 300 K, and has a volume of 1.0 L. It is compressed adiabatically a isothermal
to a volume of 0.0667 L. Calculate the magnitude of the work done
during the process. b
adiabatic

4) An ideal gas does 12 J of work when taken along the isothermal


process from a to b and 7 J of work when taken along the adiabatic c
process from b to c (see Figure 2). What is the change in internal energy
of the gas when it is taken along the straight path from a to c?

5) One mole of an ideal gas is first compressed isothermally at
380 K to half of its initial volume. Then, 450 J of heat is added to it at constant volume:
(a) Calculate the net work and the total change in the internal energy after the gas has passed
through the above two processes; (b) Sketch the p-V diagram for the two processes.

6) Under constant pressure p = 1 atm, the temperature of 1 mol of an ideal monatomic gas
decreases from 400 K to 300 K. What are:
(a) the energy transferred as heat Q; and
(b) the internal energy change ΔEint of the gas?

7) An ideal monatomic gas in confined to a cylinder by a piston. The piston is slowly pushed in
so that the gas temperature remains at 300C. During the compression, 650 J of work is done on
the gas. What is the entropy change of the gas?

8) Calculate the change in entropy of 1.0 kg of ice at 0.0°C when its temperature is increased to
20.0 °C (Lfusion-ice= 333 kJ.kg-1; cwater= 4190 J.kg-1.K-1).

9) You mix two samples of water, A and B. Sample A is 100 g at 100C and sample B is also
100 g but at 900C. Calculate the change in entropy of sample B.
(cwater = 4190 J.kg-1.K-1)

10) A 100-g of ice at -100C is placed in a lake whose temperature is 250C. Calculate the change
in entropy of the lake if we assume that the temperature of the lake does not change.
(cwater = 4190 J kg-1K-1, cice = 2220 J kg-1 K-1; LF = 333 kJ kg-1)
