What are the answer choices?
Answer:
The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.
Explanation:
The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:
(1)
Where:
- Pressure.
- Volume.
- Molar quantity, in moles.
- Ideal gas constant.
- Temperature.
Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:
(2)
If we know that
, then the resulting pressure of the system is:


The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.
Look that one up in you text book PG:678 that is if you got the same book as my friend<span />
A. is the right answer since work is negative and Q which is heat in negative also
