Randall D. Knight — Work, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 53
A 10-cm-diameter cylinder contains argon gas at 10 atm pressure and a temperature of 50°C. A piston can slide in and out of the cylinder. The cylinder’s initial length is 20 cm. 2500 J of heat are transferred to the gas, causing the gas to expand at constant pressure. What are (a) the final temperature and (b) the final length of the cylinder?
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 50°C, . A, 20 cm, 2500 J
Find: (a) the final temperature and; (b) the final length of the cylinder?
