Helium gas in a rigid container heated on a hot plate.
Helium gas in a rigid container heated on a hot plate.
A sample of an ideal monatomic helium gas is sealed inside a rigid, sealed steel container of fixed volume \(V_0\). The container is placed on a hot plate, causing the absolute temperature of the gas to increase from \(T_0\) to \(2T_0\). Which of the following correctly pairs the thermodynamic work \(W\) done on the gas with the heat \(Q\) transferred to the gas during this heating process?
