2.6 Calculation of Enthalpy Changes of Processes without Chemical Reactions 81


2.41A sample of 3.00 mol of argon is heated from 25.00◦Cto
100.00◦C, beginning at a pressure of 1.000 atm
(101,325 Pa).


a. Findq,w,∆U, and∆Hif the heating is done at
constant volume.
b. Findq,w,∆U, and∆Hif the heating is done at
constant pressure.
