For some reversible, infinite-step processes, this quantity equals the natural log of the volume ratio times the number of moles, the ideal gas constant, and temperature.
For some reversible, infinite-step processes, this quantity equals the natural log of the volume ratio times the number of moles, the ideal gas constant, and temperature. This physical quantity accounts for the difference between the molar heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant pressure and the molar heat capacity at constant volume, the latter of which is equal to 3/2 times the ideal gas constant. The change in the internal energy of a system is equal to heat plus this quantity, and for a compressed gas, this quantity equals pressure times the change in volume. For 10 points, name this quantity which represents energy transfer done by acting against a force for a given distance.
