Problem

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas occupies a volume of

1.0 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}^3

at a pressure of

2.0 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2

. (a) What is the temperature of the gas? (b) The gas undergoes an adiabatic compression until its volume is decreased to

5.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3

. What is the new gas temperature? (c) How much work is done on the gas during the compression? (d) What is the change in the internal energy of the gas?
