What amount of heat is to be transferred to this gas to increase its internal energy by ? — Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

From the First Law of Thermodynamics: $q = \Delta U + W$. Substituting the work done from the previous question: $q = \Delta U + \frac{\gamma-1}{\alpha}\Delta U = \Delta U \left(1 + \frac{\gamma-1}{\alpha}\right)$.
