    i) a) V2 = 22.5 L

    b) W = 9249.451 J

    c) Q = - 9249.451 J

    d) ΔU = 0 J/mol

    e) ΔH = 0 J/mol

    ii) a) V2 = 19.154 L

    b) W = 3390.346 J

    c) Q = 0 J

    d) ΔU = - 562.124 J/mol

    e) ΔH = - 936.884 J/mol

    Explanation:

    an monoatomic ideal gas:

    ∴ PV = RTn

    contants molar heat capacity:

    ∴ Cp, n = 2.5 R

    ∴ Cv, n = 1.5 R

    i) a reversible isothermal expansion:

    ∴ T1 = T2 = 300 K

    ∴ P1 = 15 atm

    ∴ V1 = 15 L

    ∴ P2 = 10 atm

    ⇒ n = P1V1 / RT1 = ((15) * (15)) / ((0.082) * (300)) = 9.146 mol

    a) V2 = RT2n/P2 = ((0.082) * (300) * (9.146)) / 10 = 22.5 L

    b) W = nRT Ln (P1/P2)

    ⇒ W = (9.146) * (8.314) * (300) Ln (15/10)

    ⇒ W = 9249.451 J

    c) Q = - W = - 9249.451 J

    d) ΔU = CvΔT

    ∴ ΔT = 0

    ⇒ ΔU = 0

    e) H = U + PV ... ideal gas

    ⇒ ΔH = ΔU + ΔPV = 0 + (P1V1 - P2V2) = 0 + 0 = 0

    ii) a reversible adiabatic expansion:

    ∴ P2 = 10 atm

    a) P1 (V1) ∧γ = P2 (V2) ∧γ ... reversible adiabatic

    ∴ γ = Cp, n / Cv, n = 2.5R / 1.5R = 1.666

    ⇒ (V2) ∧γ = ((15) (15) ∧γ) / 10

    ⇒ (V2) ∧γ = 136.849

    ⇒ V2 = (136.849) ∧ (1/1.666)

    ⇒ V2 = 19.154 L

    b) W = P1V1 - P2V2

    ⇒ W = ((15) * (15)) - ((10) * (19.154)) = 225 - 191.54 = 33.46 atm. L

    ⇒ W = 33.46 atm. L * (Pa/9.8692 E-6atm) * (m³/1000L) = 3390.346 Pa. m³

    ⇒ W = 3390.346 J

    c) Q = 0 J ... adiabatic

    d) ΔU = Cv, n*ΔT

    ∴ T2/T1 = (V1/V2) ∧ (R/Cv, n)

    ⇒ T2 = T1 * [ (V1/V2) ∧ (R/Cv, n) ]

    ∴R/Cv, n = R/1.5R = 1/1.5 = 0.666

    ⇒ T2 = 300K * [ (15/19.154) ∧ (0.666) ]

    ⇒ T2 = 254.925 K

    ⇒ ΔU = Cv, n*ΔT = 1.5 * (8.314) * (254.925 - 300) = - 562.124 J/mol

    e) ΔH = ∫Cp, n*δT = Cp, n*ΔT ... constant molar heat capacity

    ⇒ ΔH = 2.5 * (8.314) * (254.925 - 300) = - 936.884 J/mol
