Randall D. Knight — Work, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 55

A cube 20 cm on each side contains 3.0 g of helium at 20°C. 1000 J of heat energy are transferred to this gas. What are (a) the final pressure if the process is at constant volume and (b) the final volume if the process is at constant pressure? (c) Show and label both processes on a single \( pV \) diagram.
