    The heat needed when volume is constant is 18926.9 J

    The heat needed when pressure is constant is 31544.8 J

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Number of moles of a monoatomic gas = 2.97 mol

    Temperature of the gas = 511 K

    The internal energy of this gas is doubled by the addition of heat.

    Step 2:

    At a constant volume workdone is 0.

    Q = ΔU + W

    Q = 3/2 n*R*T

    ⇒n = the number of moles = 2.97 moles

    ⇒R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol*K

    ⇒with T = the temperature = 511 K

    Q = 3/2 * 2.97 * 8.314 * 511

    Q = 18926.9 J

    Step 3: At a constant pressure workdone is:

    W = p*V

    W = n*R*T

    ⇒ Q = ΔU + W

    Q = 3/2 * nRT + nRT

    Q = 18926.9 + 2.97 * 8.314 * 511

    Q = 31544.8 J

    The heat needed when volume is constant is 18926.9 J

    The heat needed when pressure is constant is 31544.8 J
