The frictionless piston-and-cylinder system depict here is subjected to 1.013 bar external pressure. The piston mass is 200 kg, it has an area of 0.15 m2, as well as the initial volume of the entrapped ideal gas is 0.12 m3. The piston and cylinder don't conduct heat; however heat can be added to the gas by a heating coil. The gas has a constant-volume heat capacity of 30.1 J/(mol K) as well as an initial temperature of 298 K as well as 10.5 kJ of energy are to be supplied to the gas through the heating coil.
a.) If stops placed at the preliminary equilibrium position of the piston prevent it from increasing, what will be the final temperature as well as pressure of the gas?
b.) If the piston is allowable to move freely, explain what will be the final temperature as well as volume of the gas?
