An air pump has a cylinder 0.270 m long with a movable piston. The pump is used to compress air from the atmosphere (at absolute pressure 1.01 × 105 Pa ) into a very large tank at a pressure of 5.40 × 105 Pa. (For air, CV = 20.79  J/mol⋅K.) A. The piston begins the compression stroke at the open end of the cylinder. How far down the length of the cylinder has the piston moved when air first begins to...

A gas is confined to a container with a massless piston at the top. (Figure 2)  A massless wire is attached to the piston. When an external pressure of 2.03 bar is applied to the wire, the gas compresses from 6.40 to 3.20 L . When the external pressure is increased to 2.53 bar, the gas further compresses from 3.20 to 2.56 L . In a separate experiment with the same initial conditions, a pressure of 2.53 bar was applied to...

A 19.0-L volume of an ideal gas in a cylinder with a piston is at a pressure of 2.8 atm. Enough weight is suddenly removed from the piston to lower the external pressure to 1.4 atm. The gas then expands at constant temperature until its pressure is 1.4 atm. Find the change in enthalpy, ?H, for this change in state. Express your answer using two significant figures. Find the heat, q, associated with this change in state. Express your answer...
