One mole of nitrogen gas confined within a cylinder by a piston is heated from 0 degrees C to 856 degrees C at atm.
1. Calculate the work of expansion of the gas in joules. Assume all energy is used to do work.
2. What would the temp change if the gas were heated with the same amount of energy in a container of fixed volume? (assume the specific heat capacity of N2 is 1 J/gK)
