Expand 1.00 mol of an monatomic gas initially at 5.00 kPa and 600 K from initial volume Vi = 1.00 m3 to final volume Vf = 2.00 m3. At any instant during the expansion, the pressure p and volume V of the gas are related by p = 5.00 exp[(Vi – V)/a], with p in kilopascals, Vi and V in cubic meters, and a = 1.00 m3. What are the final
(a) Pressure and
(b) Temperature of the gas?
(c) How much work is done by the gas during the expansion?
(d) What is ∆S for the expansion?
