Solution: 5.00 moles of an ideal gas are contained in a cylinder with a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm and at a temperature of 593 K by a movable, frictionless piston. This system is cooled to 504 K.i)

5.00 moles of an ideal gas are contained in a cylinder with a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm and at a temperature of 593 K by a movable, frictionless piston. This system is cooled to 504 K.

i) Calculate the work done on or by the system.

ii) Given that the molar heat capacity (C) of an ideal gas is 20.8 J/mol K, calculate q (J), the heat that flows into or out of the system.
