Question

An ideal gas expands in such a manner that its pressure and volume can be related by equation pv2 = constant. During this process, the gas is

Answer 1

During this process, the gas is being cooled.

given,

PV² = constant = k

we know that for ideal gas , the gas equation is,

PV = nRT

=> P = nRT/V

hence,

PV²= k

=> nRT/V x V² = k

=> nRTV = k

=> nRV = k/T

since n, k and R are constant here so,

V ∝ 1/T

Thus volume is inversely proportional to the temperature. So volume is increasing while temperature is decreasing and vice versa, which is a cooling process.
