A plunger inside of a syringe, like those we used in lab on October 30-November 1 and again in lab November 6-8, is pushed to compress a region of diatomic gas, which we assume to be ideal, at atmospheric pressure before being compressed, and maintained at constant temperature thereafter. The cross-sectional area of the plunger is 3.20 cm². A force of 20.0 N pushes the plunger into the gas, with an initial volume of 40.0 cc. (a) Calculate the final volume of the compressed gas. (b) Calculate the heat flow out of the gas, assuming the piston is pushed in a distance of 4.00 cm.
