Problem 2.31

As a result of the isobaric heating by \(\Delta T=72 \mathrm{~K}\) one mole of a certain ideal gas obtains an amount of heat \(Q=1.60 \mathrm{~kJ} .\) Find the work performed by the gas, the increment of its internal energy, and the value of \(\gamma=C_{p} / \vec{C}_{V}\).

Reveal Answer
\begin{array}{l} \text { 2.31. } A=R \Delta \{T}=0.60 \quad \mathrm{~kJ}, \quad \Delta U=Q-R \Delta T=1.00 \mathrm{~kJ}, \\ \gamma=Q /(Q-R \Delta T)=1.6 \end{array}
