5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the perfect gas law represent?
Remember the equation PV = nRT.
Define bulk modulus of elasticity.
Think about how materials respond to pressure.
What is the perfect gas law?
Remember the equation that everyone uses for gas calculations.
Is bulk modulus of elasticity related to resistance to compression?
Think about how materials react under pressure.
A gas at a certain temperature has a pressure of 150 kPa, and its volume is 1.5 m³. If the gas undergoes an isothermal expansion to 2.5 m³, what will be the new pressure assuming it stays at the same temperature?
Apply the ideal gas law while keeping temperature constant.
A gas is compressed isentropically to half its volume, starting from a pressure of 100 kPa. What is the pressure after compression if k = 1.4?
Remember to take into account the value of k for your calculations.
