In the given (V - T) diagram, what is the relation between pressure P1 and P2? [figure]
- P2 < P1
- Cannot be predicted
- P2 = P1
- P2 > P1
Answer
(1) P2 < P1
Solution
For an ideal gas at constant pressure: V = ( nRP )T
slope of the V–T line = = nRP, i.e. P 1
From the graph, 2 > 1 2 > 1
P2 < P1
Answer: (1)
