A sample of 1.00 mole of oxygen is at equilibrium subject to anexternal pressure of 1.00 atm and is in thermal contact with a heatbath at a temperature of 273K. The gas is then subject to thefollowing two-step process.
Step 1: The external pressure is suddenly increased to 30.0 atm,and the gas is irreversibly compressed while still maintainingthermal contact with the heat bath. When the system comes toequilibrium, the pressure is 30.0 atm, and the temperature is273K.
Step 2: Then the gas is irreversibly expanded, keeping it inconstant contact with the heat bath, until the pressure is reducedback to 1.00 atm.
Calculate q, w, delta U, and delta S for each step.
Could you just help me with the different equations I shoulduse(ex. which ones for irreversible compression vs. reversible).You don't have to actually calculate it. You can if you want tothough;) Thanks!
