Homework Statement
Two moles of carbon monoxide (CO) start at a pressure of 1.2 atm and a volume of 30 liters. The gas is then compressed adiabatically to 1/3 this volume. Assume that the gas may be treated as ideal.
What is the change in the internal energy of the gas?
n = 1.2 atm
V2 = 10L
V1 = 30L
Cp = 29.16 J/(mol * K)
Homework Equations
Q = dU + W
The Attempt at a Solution
dU = dQ - dW
dU = nCpdT - pdV
dT is not known, and I can't go any further.
