Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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?
💡 Hint: 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.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship of V and the specific heat ratio.
