Acylinder contains 0.300 mol of carbon dioxide (co2) gas at a temperature of 30.0 ∘c. the cylinder is provided with a frictionless piston, which maintains a constant pressure of 1.00 atm on the gas. the cylinder is placed on a hot plate and a 920 j of heat flows into the gas, thereby raising its temperature to 129 ∘c. assume that the co2 may be treated as an ideal gas. how much work is done by the gas in this process?

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
