Short Answer

In an isothermal process, 3700 J of work is done by an ideal gas. Is this enough information to tell how much heat has been added to the system? If so, how much? If not, why not?

The heat added to the system is 3700 J.

Concept

By the first law of thermodynamics, \(\Delta U = Q - W\).

For the isothermal process, change in internal energy, \({\bf{\Delta }}U = {\rm{0}}\).

Explanation

For the isothermal process,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}0 = Q - W\\Q = W.\end{aligned}\)

In the isothermal process, the work done equals the heat supplied to the system.

Hence, the heat added to the system is 3700 J.

What is the change in entropy of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.00}}\;{{\bf{m}}{\bf{3}}}\) water at 0°C when it is frozen to ice at 0°C?

Explain why the temperature of a gas increases when it is compressed adiabatically.

A “Carnot” refrigerator (the reverse of a Carnot engine) absorbs heat from the freezer compartment at a temperature of -17°C and exhausts it into the room at 25°C.

(a) How much work would the refrigerator do to change 0.65 kg of water at 25°C into ice at -17°C.

(b) If the compressor output is 105 W and runs 25% of the time, how long will this take?
