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 + PVideal gas

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

ii) a reversible adiabatic expansion:

∴ P2 = 10 atm

a) P1(V1)∧γ = P2(V2)∧γreversible 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*ΔTconstant  molar heat capacity

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