    1) A monatomic ideal gas has its temperature reduced from 540K to 350K while 5500J of heat flows into the gas. This causes the internal energy to decrease and the gas to do positive work by expanding. 2) 1g of water has its temperature raised by 31°C while under constant pressure of 2.0x105Pa. This causes a small expansion of 1.0x10-8m3. The work done and change in internal energy need to be calculated. 3) The work done by a gas undergoing a straight-line process on a pressure-volume graph can be determined by estimating the number of squares under the line and multiplying by the pressure.

    Example 2 An Ideal Gas The temperature of three moles of a monatomic ideal gas is reduced from 540K to 350K as 5500J

    of heat flows into the gas. Find: (a) the change in internal energy (b) the work done by the gas.

    Answer

    Example 3
    Isobaric Expansion of Water

    One gram of water is placed in the cylinder and the pressure is maintained at 2.0x105Pa. The temperature of the water is raised by 31oC. The water is in the liquid phase and expands by the small amount of 1.0x10-8m3. Find the work done and the change in internal energy.

    Answer

    Example 4 Work and the Area Under a Pressure-Volume Graph Determine the work for the process in which the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas are changed along the straight line in the figure. Since the volume increases, the work is positive.

    a) 14 gallons

    b) about 11 gallons
    c) about 8 gallons

    d) about 3 gallons
    e) about 1 gallon
