    A perfect gas obeys the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) and its internal energy and enthalpy only depend on temperature. A 1.5 mol sample of perfect gas at an initial pressure of 230 kPa and temperature of 315 K undergoes adiabatic expansion until its pressure reaches 170 kPa. The final volume is calculated to be 0.0205 m3 and the final temperature is calculated to be 279 K using the ideal gas law, heat capacity, and the adiabatic expansion equation.

    Quiz 2

    1. Discuss briefly what is perfect gas, hence explain the characteristic of internal energy
    and enthalpy for a perfect gas.

    Perfect gas is the gas that obeys both of the following:


     PV = nRT

      ∂U  = 0
     ∂V T

    Internal energy and enthalpy only depend on temperature.


    U = U (T )

    H = H (T )

    2. A sample consisting of 1.5 mol of perfect gas molecules with CP,m = 20.8 JK-1mol-1 is
    initially at 230 kPa and 315 K. It undergoes reversible adiabatic expansion until its
    pressure reaches 170 kPa. Calculate the final volume and temperature.
