500 J of heat energy are transferred to a gas during a process in which the gas expands at constant pressure from 400 cm^3 to 800 cm^3 . The gas's thermal energy increases by 300 J during this process. What is the gas pressure?

The pV-diagram in Fig. E19.13 shows a process abc involving 0.450 mol of an ideal gas.

(c) How much heat had to be added during the process to increase the internal energy of the gas by 15,000 J?

The process abc shown in the pV-diagram in Fig. E19.11 involves 0.0175 mol of an ideal gas.

(a) What was the lowest temperature the gas reached in this process? Where did it occur?

Figure E19.8 shows a pV-diagram for an ideal gas in which its absolute temperature at b is one-fourth of its absolute temperature at a.

(d) Did heat enter or leave the gas from a to b? How do you know?

. BIO Work Done by the Lungs. The graph in Fig. E19.4 shows a pV-diagram of the air in a human lung when a person is inhaling and then exhaling a deep breath. Such graphs, obtained in clinical practice, are normally somewhat curved, but we have modeled one as a set of straight lines of the same general shape. (Important: The pressure shown is the gauge pressure, not the absolute pressure.) (b) The process illustrated here is somewhat different from those we have been studying, because the pressure change is due to changes in the amount of gas in the lung, not to temperature changes. (Think of your own breathing. Your lungs do not expand because they've gotten hot.) If the temperature of the air in the lung remains a reasonable 20°C, what is the maximum number of moles in this person's lung during a breath?

How much heat energy must be added to a 6.0-cm-diameter copper sphere to raise its temperature from −50°C to 150°C?

80 J of work are done on the gas in the process shown in FIGURE EX19.3. What is V₁ in cm^3?

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m^3 and the pressure increases from 2.00 * 10^5 Pa to 5.00 * 10^5 Pa. The second process is a compression to a volume of 0.120 m^3 at a constant pressure of 5.00 * 10^5 Pa. (a) In a pV-diagram, show both processes.

Two moles of an ideal gas are heated at constant pressure from T = 27°C to T = 107°C. (a) Draw a pV-diagram for this process. (ANSWER IS )
