Q.

An ideal monatomic gas is confined in a cylinder by a spring loaded piston of cross section 8 x10-3m2 . Initially the gas is at 300K and occupies a volume of 2.4 x 10-3 m3 and the spring is in its relaxed position. The gas is heated by a small electric heater until the piston moves out slowly by 0.1m. Calculate the heat supplied (in J) by the heater. The force constant of the spring is 8000 N/m and atmospheric pressure 1x105N / m2

Detailed Solution

As here initially 
P1=P0=1×105N/m2V1=V0=2.4×103m3T1=T0=300K  and finally PF=P0+KxA=1×105+8000×0.18×103=2×105N/m2,VF=V0+Ax=2.4×10+0.1×8×103 =3.2×103m3
So from gas equationPV=μRT, i.e.  P1V1T1=PFVFTF

we have TF=PFP1×VFV1×T1=2×1051×105×3.2×1032.4×103×300=800K
As ΔW=PdV, Here P=P0+(Kx/A)
So ΔW=00.1P0+kxAAdx=00.1P0A+kxdx i.e. =P0Ax+12kx2
=105×8×103×0.1+12×8000×(0.1)2 i.e. ΔW=80+40=120JΔU=ncvΔT,ΔU=600J,ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW=600+120=720J
