A cylinder which is in a horizontal position contains an unknown noble gas at 4.63 × 104 Pa and is sealed with a massless piston. The piston is slowly, isobarically moved inward 0.163 m, while 1.95 × 104 J of heat is removed from the gas. If the piston has a radius of 0.272 m, calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure [tex]P=4.63\times10^{4}\ Pa[/tex]

Remove heat [tex]\Delta U= -1.95\times10^{4}\ J[/tex]

Radius = 0.272 m

Distance d = 0.163 m

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

[tex]dU=Q-W[/tex]...(I)

Where, dU = internal energy

Q = heat

W = work done

Put the value of W in equation (I)

[tex]dU=Q-PdV[/tex]

Where, W = PdV

Put the value in the equation

[tex]dU=-1.95\times10^{4}-(4.63\times10^{4}\times3.14\times(0.272)^2\times(-0.163))[/tex]

[tex]dU=-17746.78\ J[/tex]

Hence, The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J
