Find the three equations of state for a system with the fundamental equation
Evaluate δP/δV)S in terms of Cp, Cv, α, β, T, V etc. Note that the result may not contain
all the above quantities.
dB = x4 y3 dx + x5 y2 dy
Check to see if B is a state function, if not introduce appropriate integer constants so that
B becomes a state function and then calculate the change in B going from (1, 2) to (3, 3)
A system obeys the relations U = PV and P = BT2 where B is a constant. Find the
fundamental equation for this system.
One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes a reversible expansion at constant pressure
during which the entropy of the gas increases by 14.41 J/K and the gas absorbs 6236
joules of heat. Calculate the initial and final temperatures.
The initial state of a quantity of monoatomic ideal gas is P=1 atm and V=1 liter and
T=373 K. The gas is isothermally expanded to a volume of 2 liters and then is cooled at
constant pressure to the volume V. This volume is such that a reversible adiabatic
compression to a pressure of 1 atm returns the system to its initial state. All of the
changes of state are conducted reversibly. Calculate the value of V and the total
workdone on or by the gas. (Hint: First draw a schematic P-V diagram showing the
various steps)
