3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define an isothermal process.
Focus on the temperature aspect.
State Boyle's Law.
Think about pressure and volume relation.
In an isothermal process, what stays constant?
Think about what defines an isothermal process.
True or False: Work done in an isothermal compression is always positive.
Recall the sign convention for work.
An ideal gas in a piston undergoes an isothermal expansion from a volume of 2.0 L to 5.0 L at 300 K. Given the gas constant R = 8.31 J/(mol K), calculate the work done by the gas if 1 mole of gas is used.
Use the ideal gas equation and integrate to find work.
Consider a scenario where 500 J of work is done by a gas during an isothermal process. If the gas absorbs heat, what is the heat absorbed by the gas?
Refer to the relationship between heat and work in isothermal conditions.
