Question: Krypton in a closed system is compressed adiabatically from 69 K and 1 bar to a final pressure of 25 bar. Compute the required work.

Krypton in a closed system is compressed adiabatically from 69 K and 1 bar to a final pressure of 25 bar. Compute the required work. Assume krypton is an ideal gas. From Appendix B in the text, we can assume the heat capacity of krypton is independent of temperature and Cp = 2.5R, where R is the molar gas constant R = 8.314J/(mol K). For an ideal gas, recall Cv = Cp - R = 1.5R. Report your answer in units of kJ/mol using three decimal places
