(Solution) - A cylinder with a piston contains 0 250 mol of oxygen -(2025 Original AI-Free Solution)

Paper Details

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.250 mol of oxygen at 2.40 X 105 Pa and 355 K the oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas. The gas first expands isobarically to twice its original volume. It is then compressed isothermally back to its original volume, and finally it is cooled isochorically to its original pressure.
(a) Show the series of processes on a p V-diagram.
(b) Compute the temperature during the isothermal compression.
(c) Compute the maximum pressure.
(d) Compute the total work done by the piston on the gas during the series of processes.
