Textbook Question

Chapter 19, Problem 12Q

Use the conservation of energy to explain why the temperature of a well-insulated gas increases when it is compressed—say, by pushing down on a piston—whereas the temperature decreases when the gas expands.

Chapter 19, Problem 13Q

Students have asked these similar questions

An ideal gas is compressed to half its original volume at constant temperature. (a) If 1000 J of energy is removed during the compression, how much work is done on the gas? (b) What is the change in the internal energy of the gas during the compression?

On a warm Summer day, a student turns on the fan in his room in the morning and leaves it running. When he returns in the afternoon: Will the room be warmer or cooler than the adjacent rooms? Why? Assume that the windows and doors of the room remain closed and that the walls of the room are adiabatic.

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume.In doing so, 2650J of work is done on the gas. How much heat flows into or out of the gas? What is the change in internal energy of the gas? Does its temperature rise or fall?
