4 moles of monoatomic ideal gas is compressed adiabatically causing the temperature to increase from 300 K to 400 K. Calculate the work done on the gas in units of Joules (if the answer is negative, be sure to enter a negative sign in your answer).

the work done on the gas is 4,988.7 J.

Explanation:

Given;

number of moles of the monoatomic gas, n = 4 moles

initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 300 K

final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 400 K

The work done on the gas is calculated as;

For monoatomic ideal gas:

Where;

R is ideal gas constant = 8.3145 J/K.mol

Therefore, the work done on the gas is 4,988.7 J.

answer: mercury

explanation:

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
