For four situations for an abe d ideal gas, the table gives the Q -50 +35 -15 +20 energy transferred to or from the W - 50 + 35 gas as heat Q and either the work Won -40 +40 W done by the gas or the work Won done on the gas, all in joules. Rank the four situations in terms of the temperature change of the gas, p most positive first.

Question
The volume of an ideal gas is adiabatically reduced from 200 L to 74.3 L. The initial pressure and temperature are 1.00 atm and 300 K. The final pressure is 4.00 atm. (a) Is the gas monatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic? (b) What is the final temperature? (c) How many moles are in the gas?
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The volume of an ideal gas is adiabatically reduced from 200 L to 74.3 L. The initial pressure and temperature are 1.00 atm and 300 K. The final pressure is 4.00 atm. (a) Is the gas monatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic? (b) What is the final temperature? (c) How many moles are in the gas?
From the textbook chapter THE KINETIC THEORY OF GASES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
