The change of state can be brought about in many ways, of which the two simplest are following: Path 1, in which there is free expansion against zero external pressure; Path 2, in which there is reversible, isothermal expansion. Calculate w , q , and Δ U f o r e a c h process. Example -Calculating work, heat, and internal energy

版权所有：华东理工大学物理化学教研室 9 Method: To find a starting point for a calculation in thermodynamics, it is often a good idea to go back to first principles, and to look for a way of expressing the quantity we are asked to calculate in terms of other quantities that are easier to calculate. Because the internal energy of a perfect gas arises only from the kinetic energy of its molecules, it is independent of volume; therefore, for any i s o t h e r m a l c h a n g e , i n general ΔU = q+w.

版权所有：华东理工大学物理化学教研室 10 Answer: Since ΔU = 0 for both paths and ΔU = q+w. The work of free expansion is zero, in Path 1, w = 0 and q = 0; for Path 2, the work is given by so w = - nRT ln (Vf /Vi), and q = nRT ln (Vf /Vi). i f ln f d i V V nRT V V w nRT V V = − = − ∫ Example -Calculating work, heat, and internal energy
