- Problem 1.33. An ideal gas is made to undergo the cyclic process shown in Figure 1.10(a). For each of the steps A, B, and C, determine whether each of the following is positive, nogative, or zero: (a) the work done on the gas; (b) the change in the energy content of the gas: (c) the heat added to the gas. Then determine the sign of each of these three quantities for the whole cycle. What does this process accomplish? (a) A (b) B Pa B A A D Volume V1 V Volume Figure 1.10.

(c) Compute the net work done on the gas, the net heat added to the gas, and the net change in the energy of the gas during the entire cycle. Are the results as you expected? Explain briefly.

The set up is: What is the average volume in nm3 (cubic nanometers) taken up by molecules of an ideal gas at room temperature (taken as 300 K), and 1 atm of pressure or 101325 N/m2 to 4 digits of precision if kB = 1.38e-23 J/K and 1 nm = 10-9 m?

- e. Consider one unit cell and assume the length of the side of the cube is “a”. Remember that “a” is the distance between the centers of two adjacent atoms. How long is “a”, the edge of a unit cell, in terms of radius, r, of an atom? Write also your answer in the summary table.Answer: __________f. Based on the earlier questions, a simple cubic cell has the equivalent of only 1 atom. Recall the volume of sphere with radius, r, is expressed as V = 4/3 πr3. With this information, find the total volume of all the spheres in this unit cell, expressed in terms of r.
