Final answer:
To compress the gas to 1500 cm3 at constant pressure, calculate the work using the formula: Work = Pressure * Change in Volume. To compress the gas to 1500 cm3 at constant temperature, calculate the work using the formula: Work = -Change in Internal Energy.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the work done to compress the gas to 1500 cm3 at constant pressure, we can use the formula:
Work = Pressure * Change in Volume
Since the pressure is constant, the work done can be calculated as:
Work = Pressure * (Final Volume - Initial Volume)
Plug in the values:
Work = (0.13 mol * R * 330 K) * (1500 cm3 - 2500 cm3)
where R is the ideal gas constant.
To find the work done to compress the gas to 1500 cm3 at constant temperature, we can use the formula:
Work = -Change in Internal Energy
Since the temperature is constant, the change in internal energy can be calculated as:
Change in Internal Energy = -n * R * T * ln(Vf/Vi)
Plug in the values:
Change in Internal Energy = -0.13 mol * R * 330 K * ln(1500 cm3/2500 cm3)
