Problem 3
An ideal monatomic gas with moles is heated at constant pressure from to . Find the work done, change in internal energy, and heat absorbed; use gas constant . The process is isobaric and only pressure-volume work occurs; take for work done by the gas and for heat absorbed. (a) Find the work . (b) Find the internal-energy change . (c) Use the first law to determine the heat absorbed. Express each answer in terms of the supplied parameters, using SI units for any numerical evaluation. State the assumptions used, check dimensions at each result, and compare with the governing law to catch a sign error or a missing condition.
