This question is about the first law of thermodynamics.
(a)
Describe what is meant by the internal energy of an ideal gas.
(b)
The internal energy of an ideal gas increases by an amount U. During this process, an

This question is about thermodynamic processes.
(a)
Distinguish between an isothermal process and an adiabatic process as applied to an
ideal gas.
An ideal gas is held in a container by a moveable piston and thermal energy is supplied to the
gas such that it expands at a constant pressure of 1.2 × 105 Pa.

The gas now expands at constant pressure p so that the volume increases by an
amount ΔV. Derive an expression for the work done by the gas.
An engine operates by using an isolated mass of an ideal gas. The gas is
compressed adiabatically and then it is heated at constant volume. The gas
gains 310 J of energy during the heating process. The gas then expands
adiabatically. Finally, the gas is cooled so that it returns to its original state.
During the cooling process, 100 J of energy is extracted. The cycle is shown
below.
