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
.
