QUESTION:
Problem 16P
The volume of a monatomic ideal gas doubles in an isothermal expansion. By what factor does its pressure change?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
We have to calculate the increase in the pressure of a monoatomic ideal gas under isothermal expansion.
In an isothermal process, the temperature will be a constant.
Therefore, the ideal gas equation becomes,
Where, - pressure of the gas
- Volume of the gas
