In this problem you are to consider an adiabatic expansion of an ideal diatomic gas, which means that the gas expands with no addition or subtraction of heat. Assume that the gas is initially at pressure po, volume Vo, and temperature To. In addition, assume that the temperature of the gas is such that you can neglect vibrational degrees of freedom. Thus, the ratio of heat capacities is y=C₂/Cy = 7/5. Note that, unless explicitly stated, the variable y should not appear in your answers--if needed use the fact that y = 7/5 for an ideal diatomic gas. Express the work in terms of po, Vo, and V₁. Your answer should not depend on temperature. ► View Available Hint(s) IVE ΑΣΦ W = Submit Part C Find AU, the change of internal energy of the gas during the adiabatic expansion from volume V₁ to volume V₁- Express the change of internal energy in terms of po, Vo, and/or V₁. ► View Available Hint(s) AU = Submit ?
