A gas is confined to a vertical cylinder by a piston of mass 2 kg and radius 1 cm. When 5J of heat are added, the piston rises by 2.4 cm. Find: (a) the work done by the gas; (b) the change in its internal energy. Atmospheric pressure is 105Pa

Respuesta :

The work done by gas is 0.753 J and change in internal energy is 4.247J

So we are given that mass is 2kg , radius 1 cm and the amount of heat is 5 cm

The piston raised by 2.4cm

As we know that Work done is PΔV

Where ΔV is change in volume

Therefore ΔV =  πr^2 h = π x (.01)^2 x .024 =7.53×10^(-6)m^3

Here pressure is 10^5 pa

So W = [tex]10^5\times7.53\times10^-(6)[/tex]

Therefore W = 0.753 J

Now coming to change in internal energy

Change in Internal Energy = Heat Added - Energy lost in work

5J - 0.753 J = 4.247J

Hence the change in internal energy is 4.247 J
