isothermal and adiabatic please help!
Hello,
I have been stuck on this problem for about an hour so any hep would be greatly appreciated!
One mole of argon at 25 degrees C and 1 atm pressure is allowed to expand reversibly t a volume of 50 L (a) isothermally (b) adiabatically. Calculate the final pressure in each case assuming ideal gas behavior.
The answers have been given and they are: (a) 0.489 atm and (b) 0.303 atm
I can't get either a or b for some reason I don't know what I am doing wrong! Please help me :(
Cv = 3/2 R Cp= 5/2 R
Boyle's law
my answers don't even come close...?
