A cylinder with a movable piston contains a sample of ideal gas. A temperature probe and a pressure probe are inserted into the

cylinder, as shown above. The sample of gas is taken through a three-step cycle, ABCA In process AB, the volume is decreased to 1/4 its original value while constant pressure is maintained

Answer:

i. The values for the graph are;

Volume Pressure

1                  1

1/4               1

1                   1/4

1                   1

The graph is attached

ii. Energy is added to the system.

Explanation:

i) Here we note that Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

Therefore;

T₁/V₁ = T₂/V₂

Where V₂ = V₁/4, we have;

T₁/V₁ = T₂/(V₁/4) = 4×T₂/V₁

T₁ =  4×T₂

Therefore, T₂ = T₁ /4

In process BC, whereby the gas expands isothermally to original volume, we have; according to Boyle's law

P₁·V₁  = P₂·V₂

V₁ = 4·V₂

∴ P₁·4·V₂  = P₂·V₂

4·P₁  = P₂

Process CA, gas returns to initial state with T₂ = T₁ /4

Therefore, we have from Pₐ·Vₐ/Tₐ = P₁·V₁/T₁

Where the volume remain constant, we have Gay Lussac's Law which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature, therefore

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Hence; whereby the temperature changes from T₂ to T₁ and T₂ = T₁ /4, we have P₁ = 4·P₂

Therefore, the pressure increases by a factor of 4 × 4 = 16.

Please find the graph attached

ii) Given that the gas expands to its original volume V₁, such that V₁ = 4·V₂, also work done, W is given as follows;

W = nRTln\frac{v_f}{v_i} = nRTln\frac{v_1}{v_2} \ \because  v_f =v_1 \ and \ v_i = v_2 \ also \ v_1 = 4\cdot v_2

Therefore;

W = nRTln\frac{4\cdot v_2}{v_2} \ \therefore W = nRTln(4)

Hence, as n, R, and T are all positive values, W is positive, energy is added to the system.

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f
Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

Vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 24 m, East. True False
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is
gavmur [86]
Kelvin is a base unit of temperature scale from SI that defines as zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero). The absolute zero is a hypothetical statement that all molecular movement stops because there is no transient of energy for the molecules to move. When converting temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. You are given 600K and you are asked to find it in degrees Celsius.  

T(K) = T(C) + 273
600 K = T(C) + 273
T(C) = 600 – 273
T(C) = 327 °C
