1. (a) State the First Law of Thermodynamics.

(b) Derive a simple relation: Cp - Cv = R, between the molar heat capacity at constant pressure Cp and the molar heat capacity at constant volume Cv for an ideal gas, as shown in class. Can you explain why Cp > Cv.

The molar heat capacity for carbon monoxide at constant volume is CV,m = 20.17 J/(K·mol). A 13.00-L fixed-volume flask contains CO(g) at a pressure of 3.00 kPa and a temperature of 25.0 °C. Assuming that carbon monoxide acts as an ideal gas and that its heat capacity is constant over the given temperature range, calculate the change in entropy for the gas when it is heated to 800.0 °C.

28 moles of an ideal gas with a molar specific heat at constant volume of cv=3.2R is initially in state "A" at pressure 73390 Pa and volume 1.0 m3. The gas then expands isobarically to state "B" which has volume 2.6?3m3. The gas then cools isochorically to state "C". The gas finally returns from state "C" to "A" via an isothermal process. What is the adiabatic constant γ for this gas? What is Q during the expansion from "A" to...

One more of an ideal gas initially at 27oC and 1 bar pressure is heated and allowed to expand reversibly at a constant pressure until the final temperature is 327oC. For this gas, Cv,m = 2.5R, constant over the temperature range. (Note from SRB: Cv,m is the molar heat capacity. An earlier version of the 5th edition that I used last year used Cv with a bar over it, as we have been doing in class. Sorry for any confusion.)....
