Important Questions on Ideal Gases


A gas is enclosed inside a cylinder that is fitted with a freely moving piston. The gas is initially in equilibrium with a volume and a pressure . The gas is then cooled slowly. The piston moves into the cylinder until the volume of the gas is reduced to and the pressure remains at . What is the work done on the gas during this cooling?

Relate workdone and energy for an ideal gas is made to expand slowly at a constant temperature.
