(Figure 1) shows various paths that the gas might take in expanding from an initial state whose pressure, volume, and temperature are po, Vo, and To respectively. The gas expands to a state with final volume 4V. For some answers it will be convenient to generalize your results by using the variable R₂ = Vfinal/Vinitial, which is the ratio of final to initial volumes (equal to 4 for the expansions shown in the figure.) The figure shows several possible paths of the system in the pV plane. Although there are an infinite number of paths possible, several of those shown are special because one of their state variables remains constant during the expansion. These have the following names: Adiabatic: No heat is added or removed during the expansion. • Isobaric: The pressure remains constant during the expansion. ● •…arrow_forward
