Sixteen grams of oxygen (O2) gas are sealed inside a cylinder in which a constant pressure is provided by a mass m. The oxygen begins at a temperature of 400 K and loses heat though the walls of the cylinder, ending up at the room temperature of 300 K. The atomic weight of O, is 32.00 u. a. (1 pt) What are cy and Cp for this diatomic gas, estimated from the number of degrees of freedom available to the molecules of the gas ? b. (1 pt) How much heat is lost by the oxygen as it cools? c. (1 pt) How much internal energy does the oxygen lose as it cools ? d. (1 pt) How much work is done on the oxygen as the piston compresses it? . e. (1 pt) If the pressure provided by the mass on the piston is 1000 Pa, by what amount will the volume of the oxygen decrease?
