Chapter SM, Problem 29PQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Diagram that best represents final system if pressure of the gas in cylinder was doubled and temperature increased from $200\text{ K}$ to $400\text{ K}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas is hypothetical or theoretical gas that is formed from large number of randomly moving particles with perfectly elastic collisions between them. This gas is considered to follow ideal gas law under all conditions. It is used to predict behavior and properties of various gases under certain conditions. It represents relationship between the pressure, temperature, volume and amount of gas.

The formula for ideal gas equation is as follows:

  $\text{PV}=\text{RT}$        (1)

Here,

  $\text{P}$ is pressure of gas.

  $\text{V}$ is volume of gas.

  $\text{T}$ is temperature of gas.

  $\text{R}$ is universal gas constant.
