To determine the sign convention for work done on a system when the external pressure (P_ext) is equal to the internal pressure (P_int) of a cylinder containing one mole of an ideal gas, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a cylinder containing one mole of an ideal gas. - The internal pressure (P_int) is the pressure exerted by the gas inside the cylinder, while the external pressure (P_ext) is the pressure exerted by the surroundings on the gas. ...
