1 mole of ideal gas at 270C is expanded isothermally from an initial pressure of 3 atm to afinal pressure of 1 atm in two ways: (a) reversibly and (b) against a constant external pressure of 1 atm. Calculate q, w, ΔU, ΔH and ΔS for each path.
The temperature is constant in an isothermal process
a)
b) For an isothermal process either reversible or irreversible the internal energy change, delta U is equal to zero (U=0)
c) From the first law of thermodynamics, U=Q+W
Q = -W =
d)
e)
