2) a) to find out the final temperatura of gas we appy Gay-Lussac law : p1v1/t1=p2v2/t2 V1=10m^3 v2= p1=60psi I= 12 A t1=350 k V=250 V p2=0 I know I = v/r ohms law how to continue? time=150 s how to convert 60 psi to atm?How much is 1 psi in atm? b)to find the work done by the system on the surroundings: Work= integral of Pdv knowing that P2v2^n=p1v1^n=constant so work done by system on the surrounding is : work=(R(t1-t2)/n-1)) c)change in internal energy E=E2-E1 how to get E1 and E2?
