22. The First Law of Thermodynamics
Heat Equations for Special Processes & Molar Specific Heats
An ideal gas is used as fuel in a high-tech engine. The engine starts with m moles of the gas at an initial temperature of Ti and a volume of Vi. During the engine's operation, the gas undergoes an isothermal expansion process, maintaining a constant temperature while the volume triples. Determine the amount of heat energy transferred to the gas during this process in terms of m, Ti, and Vi.
