What does the perfect gas law represent?
Recall the equation PV=nRT.
Define an isothermal process.
Think about heating and cooling gases.
What is the equation of the perfect gas law?
Think about how pressure and temperature relate in gas behavior.
True or False: The bulk modulus of elasticity describes resistance to pressure change.
Consider what happens when gases are compressed.
A gas in a container is at 150 kPa and occupies a volume of 20L. If it is compressed isothermally to 10L, what will the new pressure be?
Remember at constant T, PV remains constant.
Calculate the new temperature of 1 mole of gas if it is compressed isentropically from 5L to 2.5L (k=1.4) starting at 300K.
Use the relationship of V and the specific heat ratio.
