The temperature of 0.159 mol of an ideal gas is held constant at 60.0 C while its volume is reduced to a fraction of 30.0% of its initial volume. The initial pressure of the gas is 1.24atm.
a) Determine the work done by the gas.
b) What is the change in its internal energy?
c) Does the gas exchange heat with its surrroundings?

c) Does the gas exchange heat with its surrroundings?
-
a) it's an isothermal process because of the temperature. Work is equal to nRT ln(volume final/ volume intial)
B) internal energy is dependant on temp. right? So there there is no change.
C) yes it should. Only an adiabatic process doesn't exchange heat with the surroundings.
