A gas consisting of monatomic molecules (degrees of freedom =3) was expanded in a polytropic process so that the rate of collisions of the molecules against the vessel's wall did not change. Find the molar heat capacity of the gas in the process, in J mol-1K-1. (Given: Gas constant R=8.3 J mol-1K-1)

A vertically oriented cylindrical vessel containing oxygen gas and closed by a piston of mass 50 kg. Piston can slide smoothly in the cylinder. Its cross-sectional area is 100 cm2 and atmospheric pressure is 105 Pa. Some heat is supplied to the cylinder, so that the piston is slowly displaced up by 20 cm. Find the amount of heat supplied to the gas (in Joules).
