decreased even though there is no heat input or dissipated to the gas. Where does the energy come
from to raise or lower the temperature?
4.) Why must a room air conditioner be placed in a window rather than just set on the floor and plugged
in? Why can a refrigerator be set on the floor and plugged in?
