Problem

(a) Starting from the definition of work done in a quasistatic process, derive an expression for the work done per mole when an ideal gas undergoes an isothermal change in volume from ViV_i to VfV_f. (b) A 6.6 g6.6\,\text{g} sample of nitrogen gas (molar mass 28 g mol−128\,\text{g\,mol}^{-1}) expands isothermally from 1.5 L1.5\,\text{L} to 6.0 L6.0\,\text{L}. If the work done by the gas is 2.0 kJ2.0\,\text{kJ}, determine the absolute temperature of the gas. (Take R=8.314 J mol−1K−1R = 8.314\,\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}.) a.
