“Initially there is a balloon that holds half of a mole of an ideal gas with a volume of 1.5 L at 273 K. Then 1500 J of heat is added to the balloon, and the balloon expands to 4.0 L. Using the Ideal Gas Law (PV =nRT) where R = 8.314 J K-¹mol-¹, the equation for work, and the First Law of Thermodynamics, what is the change in internal energy of the balloon at the end of the process?”

“A thermodynamic process that maintains a constant volume is called an isochoric process. During these types of processes, the gas does no work because it is not increasing the volume of the container. If you sealed off the top of a water bottle and shook 100 mL of water for two minutes, you would find that the water is warmer when you take a drink. If you shook the water…
The combined molecular kinetic energies of molecules in a cool lake are greater than the combined molecular kinetic energies of molecules in a cup of hot tea. Pretend you partially immerse the teacup in the lake and that the tea absorbs 10 calories from the water and becomes hotter, while the water that gives up 10 calories becomes cooler. Would this energy transfer violate the first law of thermodynamics? The second law of thermodynamics? Defend your answers.
Answer the following questions about the PV diagram shown in the picture.
Question 1: How much work is done by the gas in each cycle ADCA? Answer in joules.

- The diagram shows the pressure and volume of an ideal gas during one cycle of an engine. (Figure 1)As the gas proceeds from state 1 to state 2, it is heated at constant pressure. It is then cooled at constant volume, until it reaches state 3. The gas is then cooled at constant pressure to state 4. Finally, the gas is heated at constant volume until it returns to state 1. When the gas is in state 1, its temperature is T1. Find the temperature T3 of the gas when it is in state 3. (Keep in mind that this is an ideal gas.)
