Problem 2

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas initially at (P0,V0,T0)(P_0,V_0,T_0) is heated at constant pressure until its volume is 2V02V_0. Find the final temperature, work done by the gas, heat absorbed, and change in internal energy. Use the gas constant RR. (a) State the assumptions and establish the governing equation for the requested quantity. (b) Solve it in terms of the given symbols, identifying the direction, sign, or physical nature of the result. (c) Check a simple limiting case and state when the model remains valid. Use SI units consistently, retain the symbols in the setup, and enforce all geometric constraints and initial conditions.

At constant pressure, the ideal-gas law gives constant V/TV/T; doubling volume doubles absolute temperature.
