0.52 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 3.00 liter (3.00 × 10-3 m3) container at 20.0°C. The gas then undergoes an isobaric process to a temperature of 260°C. Which of the following is this process? 0→5 0→3 0→6 0→2 0→8 0→7 0→1 0→4
Kinetic Theory of Gas
The Kinetic Theory of gases is a classical model of gases, according to which gases are composed of molecules/particles that are in random motion. While undergoing this random motion, kinetic energy in molecules can assume random velocity across all directions. It also says that the constituent particles/molecules undergo elastic collision, which means that the total kinetic energy remains constant before and after the collision. The average kinetic energy of the particles also determines the pressure of the gas.
P-V Diagram
A P-V diagram is a very important tool of the branch of physics known as thermodynamics, which is used to analyze the working and hence the efficiency of thermodynamic engines. As the name suggests, it is used to measure the changes in pressure (P) and volume (V) corresponding to the thermodynamic system under study. The P-V diagram is used as an indicator diagram to control the given thermodynamic system.

![The image depicts a graph illustrating isotherms on a pressure-volume (p-V) diagram. The x-axis represents volume (V), and the y-axis represents pressure (p).
### Key Features of the Graph:
- **Isotherms:** Three red dashed curves, labeled \( T_1, T_2, \) and \( T_3 \), represent lines of constant temperature (isotherms). The graph shows \( T_3 > T_2 > T_1 \), indicating that the temperature increases as the isotherms move outward from the origin.
- **Arrows and Points:** The graph features several black arrows radiating from a central point labeled "0." These arrows point towards different numbered points (1 to 8) on the diagram.
- **Trajectory:** The arrows suggest potential paths or processes, such as expansion or compression, that a system might undergo as it moves from one point to another in the thermodynamic process.
This diagram is commonly used to visualize processes in thermodynamics, showcasing how a system transitions between different states of temperature and pressure.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3ffef1a2-ede1-4296-9e15-1b7b35b5bbdc%2Fcdddc245-234c-4e9c-83fb-0be24534f265%2F3u92utn_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
