A gas is allowed to expand in a well insulated container against a constant external pressure of 2.5 atm from an initial volume of 2.50 L to a final volume of 4.50 L. Determine the change in internal energy U of the gas:
| 1. | +500 J | 2. | -500 J |
| 3. | -506 J | 4. | +515 J |
A gas is allowed to expand in a well-insulated container against a constant external pressure of 2.5atm from an initial volume of 2.50 L to a final volume of 4.50L. The change in internal energy U of the gas in joules will be:
| 1. | –500J | 2. | –505J |
| 3. | –506J | 4. | –508J |
