One mole of an ideal monatomic gas occupies a volume of 1.0×10−2 m31.0\times10^{-2}\,\text{m}^3 at a pressure of 2.0×105 N m−22.0\times10^5\,\text{N m}^{-2}. (a) What is the temperature of the gas? (b) The gas undergoes an adiabatic compression until its volume decreases to 5.0×10−3 m35.0\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^3. What is the new gas temperature? (c) How much work is done on the gas during the compression? (d) What is the change in the internal energy of the gas?
