The equation of energy is dQ=dE+pdv, (17) expressing that the total energy dQ is used partly in increasing the internal energy of the gas, and partly in expanding the gas against the pressure p. If we take p = RNT/v from equation (14) and substitute for E from equation (16), this last equation becomes dQ 2 (n +3)RNdT +RNTdv (18) which may be taken as the general equation of calorimetry, for a gas which accurately obeys equation (14).

Joule failed to observe any change of temperature in his apparatus, and was therefore justified in assuming that the increase of intrinsic energy of a gas in isothermal expansion was very small, and that the absorption of heat observed in a similar experiment in which the gas was allowed to do external work by expanding against the atmospheric pressure was equivalent to the external work done.

When, for instance, we find that the quotient, when 6+5x+7x2+13x1+5x4 is divided by 2+35+5 2, is made up of three terms+3, - 2x, and +5x 2, we are really obtaining successively the values of co, c 1, and c 2 which satisfy the identity 6+ 5x+ 7x 2 + 13x 3 + 5x4 = (co+c i x+c 2 x 2) (2+3x+5 2); and we could equally obtain the result by expanding the right-hand side of this identity and equating coefficients in the first three terms, the coefficients in the remaining terms being then compared to see that there is no remainder.
