Question
A cylindrical pump contains a fixed number of gas molecules. The piston is free to move, but no gas can
enter or leave the pump. The pump is also thermally isolated from the surroundings. Neglect friction
between the piston and the cylinder walls.
The piston is quickly pressed inward.
a)
Is the work done on the gas positive, negative or
Explain your reasoning. Because
it is quick
there is little to no energy exchanged meening
no work was done.
A
K
zero?
b) Is the heat transfer to the gas positive, negative or zero? Explain your reasoning. There is also I
heat transfer.
c) Did the internal energy of the gas increase, decrease or remain the same? Explain your reasoning.
d) Does the temperature of the gas increase, decrease or remain the same? Explain your reasoning.
e) Does the pressure of the gas increase, decrease or remain the same? Explain your reasoning.
g) What type of process is this?
f) Sketch a PV diagram representing this process. (Note: I want to know which axis is P and which
is V so make sure to label them.)
