A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where the pressure is 1.0 bar, during which the pressure–volume relationship is pV = constant. Assume ideal gas behavior for the air.

Determine the work and heat transfer, in kJ.

For an ideal gas, the specific volume is equal to:

A: the gas constant R times the gage temperature divided by the gage pressure.

B: the universal gas constant times the absolute temperature divided by the gage pressure.

C: the gas constant R times the absolute temperature divided by the absolute pressure.

D: the universal gas constant times the absolute temperature divided by the absolute pressure.

Explanation:

The process is isothermic,  as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303  log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied  = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv  = m / M  RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

spare some change and give it to the poor

plz : ((

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.
