Packet 3: Tossup 3
When this quantity remains unchanged, a monatomic ideal gas has a molar heat capacity of 3/2 R. Another state function is integrated with respect to this quantity to give the work done by an ideal gas. This quantity is held constant during an isochoric (“eye-so-KOR-ik”) process, such as combustion inside a bomb calorimeter. This quantity is modified by the b coefficient in the (*) van der Waals equation. This quantity is proportional to particle number by Avogadro’s law and proportional to temperature by Charles’ law. This quantity for liquids is often measured by a graduated cylinder. For 10 points, what quantity can be expressed in liters? ■END■
