2.) An ideal monatomic gas is slowly taken from ,
,
, to
,
,
.
Match the work done on the gas with the conditions.
a.) Constant pressure | ii)
![]() |
b.) Constant volume | iv) 0 |
c.) Constant temperature | i)
![]() |
d.) Constant entropy | iii)
![]() |
Comments:
a.) Work done =
=
for constant
.
b.) Work done =
so it's obviously zero if
doesn't change!
c.) Obtained by substituting and taking the constant
out of the integral.
d.) Constant entropy means no heat flow so
and
.
