Capitolo 19, Problema 15c

An ideal gas is taken from aa to bb on the pVpV-diagram shown in Fig. E19.1519.15. During this process, 700700 J of heat is added and the pressure doubles. How does the internal energy of the gas at aa compare to the internal energy at bb? Be specific and explain.

Identify the initial and final states of the gas on the pV-diagram. The initial state 'a' is at a pressure of 30.0 kPa and a volume of 0.050 m³. The final state 'b' is at the same volume but with double the pressure, 60.0 kPa.
Recall the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy (ΔU) of a system is equal to the heat added to the system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W): ΔU = Q - W.
Since the process is vertical on the pV-diagram, the volume does not change, indicating that no work is done by the gas (W = 0) because work done by a gas is given by W = PΔV, and ΔV = 0.
Substitute the given values into the first law of thermodynamics equation: ΔU = 700 J - 0 J, which simplifies to ΔU = 700 J.
Conclude that the internal energy of the gas at state 'b' is 700 J greater than at state 'a', since the entire heat added to the system increases the internal energy due to no work being done.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas through the equation PV = nRT. This law is fundamental in understanding the behavior of gases under various conditions, allowing us to predict how changes in one variable affect the others. In this scenario, the pressure and volume changes are crucial for analyzing the internal energy of the gas.

Internal Energy

Internal energy is the total energy contained within a system, primarily due to the kinetic and potential energies of its molecules. For an ideal gas, the internal energy is directly proportional to its temperature and can be calculated using the formula U = (3/2)nRT for a monatomic gas. Understanding how internal energy changes during processes, such as heating or work done, is essential for solving the given problem.

First Law of Thermodynamics

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system: ΔU = Q - W. This principle is vital for analyzing the energy transfers in the gas as it moves from state 'a' to state 'b', especially since heat is added and pressure changes, affecting the internal energy at both points.
