Initially 5 mole of nitrogen are at a temperature of 25. Degrees C and a pressure of 10.0 bar. Cv,m=20.8 J K-1 mol-1 and is independent of temperature. Suppose the pressure is suddenly dropped to 1.00 bar. Calculate the final temperature, U, q, w, and H. State any assumptions that you make
we consider the process as an isothermal . t1=t2=298 K t2-t1 = 0
U= H =0 since the internal energy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature only and as temperature is kept constant , the internal energy of system remain constant .
q= -w =-(- 2.303 nRT log P1/P2) H = (U + PV) = U + (PV)
= 2.303 *5*8.314 * 298 log 10 = U + (nRT) as T = constant
= 28529.24 J H = 0+0 = 0
