Question: A system consisting of 0 . 0 8 2 2 moles of a diatomic ideal gas is taken from state A to state C along

A system consisting of 0.0822 moles of a diatomic ideal gas is taken from state A to state C along the path in the figure below.
A pressure-volume graph is plotted on a coordinate plane, where the horizontal axis is V (L), and the vertical axis is P (atm). The path consists of two line segments:
a segment from point A (2,0.300) to point B (2,0.800)
a segment from point B (2,0.800) to point C (8,0.500)
Arrows along the path are aligned such that their tails are closer to point A than are their tips.
(a) How much work is done on the gas during this process?
The response you submitted has the wrong sign. J
(b) What is the lowest temperature of the gas during this process?
K
Where does it occur?
Point APoint BPoint C
(c) Find the change in internal energy of the gas in going from A to C. Hint: Adapt the equation (for the change in internal energy of a monatomic ideal gas)
U =
32
nRT =
32
(PV)=
32
(PCVC PAVA)
to a diatomic ideal gas.
Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. J
(d) Find the energy delivered to the gas in going from A to C.
J
