One mole of ethylene at 1 bar and 25C is placed inside a frictionless piston-cylinder device. The gas is then subjected to a two-step process: (1) by keeping the piston fixed with a lacking mechanism, 25KJ of heat is added via an electrical heater; and (2)the locking mechanism is then released and 15KJ of heat is removed. The second step of the process takes placed at constant pressure. Assuming ethylene is an ideal gas, determine the following:
(a) The temperature and prssure of the gas at the end of the first step
(b) The temperature and pressure of the gas at the end of the second step
(c) W, delta U and delta H of each step
(d) W, delta U and delta H of the entire process

An ideal gas is held within a cylinder by a frictionless piston that, because of its mass, exerts a constant force on the gas in the cylinder.The gas is initially at 2.3 bar absolute pressure and 30oC in the cylinder, and occupies a volume of exactly 20.0 liters. The cylinder is equipped with an internal electric heater to heat the gas. The heater is turned on and produces 150 W of power for three minutes. At the end of this...
