3.5 Exercise 2
Most materials expand when heated. One notable exception is water between and which actually decreases in volume with the increase in temperature. Which is greater for water in this temperature region, or ?
3.5 Exercise 4
The temperature of an ideal monatomic gas rises by 8.0 K. What is the change in the internal energy of 1 mol of the gas at constant volume?
3.5 Exercise 6
If the gases of the preceding problem are initially at 300 K, what are their internal energies after they absorb the heat?
3.5 Exercise 8
When 400 J of heat are slowly added to 10 mol of an ideal monatomic gas, its temperature rises by . What is the work done on the gas?
