Homework Statement
2.1E5 J of heat enters an ideal gas as it expands at a constant T = 77°C to four times its initial volume. How many moles of gas are there?
T=350K, Q=2.1E5 J, Vi=x, Vf=4x
Homework Equations
ΔU=Q-W
W=[itex]\int[/itex]pdV
U=nCvT
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure if I'm even on the right track here.
I have W=[itex]\int[/itex]pdV = nRT[itex]\int[/itex]dv/V = nRTln(Vf-Vi)
I am stuck here because I need to know n to solve for work but I need to know W to solve for n. I am clearly missing something but I can't figure out what it is.
