2) 2.5 mol of an ideal gas at 20 oC under 20 atm pressure, was expanded up to 5 atm pressure via; (a) adiabatic reversible and (b) adiabatic irreversible process. Calculate the values of w, q, ΔU, ΔH for each process. (Cv = 5 cal / mol. K ≈ 5/2 R; R ≈ 2 cal / mol. K) (Please find the desired values by making the corresponding derivations

a) for adiabatic reversible, ΔU(internal energy is constant) = 0, ΔH = 0(no heat is entering or leaving the surrounding)

workdone (w) = -8442.6 J  ≈ -8.443 KJ

heat transferred (q) of the ideal gas = - w

q = 8.443 KJ

b) For ideal gas at adiabatic reversible, Internal energy (ΔU) = 0 and enthalpy (ΔH) = 0

the workdone(w) in the ideal gas= - 4567.5 J  ≈ - 4.57 KJ

the heat transfer (q) of an ideal gas = 4.5675 KJ

Explanation:

given

mole of an ideal gas(n) = 2.5 mol

Temperature (T) = 20°C

= (20°C + 273) K  = 293 K

Initial pressure of the ideal gas(P₁) = 20 atm

Final pressure of the ideal gas(P₂) = 5 atm.

2) (a)for adiabatic reversible process,

note: adiabatic process is a process by which no heat or mass is transferred between the system and its surrounding.

Work done (w) = nRT ln

= 2.5 mol × 8.314 J/mol K × 293 K × ln

= 6090.01 J × [-1.3863]

= -8442.6 J  ≈ -8.443 KJ

So, the work done (w) of ideal gas = -8.443 KJ

For ideal gas at adiabatic reversible, Internal energy (U) = 0 and Enthalpy (H) = 0

From first law of thermodynamics:-

U = q + w

0 = q + w

q = - w

q = - (-8.443 KJ)

q = 8.443 KJ

heat transfer (q) of the ideal gas = 8.443 KJ

(b) For adiabatic irreversible, the temperature T remains constant because the internal energy U depends only on temperature T. Since at constant temperature, the entropy is proportional to the volume, therefore, entropy will increase.

Work done (w) = -nRT(1 - ln )

= - 2.5 mol × 8.314 J / mol K× 293 K × [1- (5 atm /20 atm)]

= - 6090.01 J × 0.75

= - 4567.5 J  ≈ - 4.57 KJ

∴work done(w) of an ideal gas = - 4.57 KJ

For ideal gas at adiabatic Irreversible, Internal energy (U) = 0 and Enthalpy (H) = 0

From first law of thermodynamics:-

U = q + w

0 = q + w

q = - w

q = - (-4.5675 KJ)

q = 4.5675 KJ

the heat transfer (q) of an ideal gas = 4.5675 KJ

1. 1 mole of anything contains 6.022x10^23 pieces

2. a  

3. c, number  

5. 1.24x10^24atoms / 6.022x10^23atoms/mole = 2moles h2 atoms  

6. fe2br3 mass = 2moles x mass fe + 3 moles x mass br  

molar mass = grams / number of moles = g/mole  

to find moles = g / molar mass  

to find mass = g = molar mass / moles

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
