4) A diatomic ideal gas (C-5R/2) is compressed to half of its initial volume through the path PV-1 = C, where C is a positive constant. Calculate the heat flow out of the gas in terms of initial pressure Po and initial volume Vo assuming the number of moles of the gas is kept constant. Is this an adiabatic process? Explain your answer briefly. 4) A diatomic ideal gas (C-5R/2) is compressed to half of its initial volume through the path PV-1 = C, where C is a positive constant.
