If a gas expands at constant temperature

A

The pressure decreases

B

The kinetic energy of the molecules remains the same

C

The kinetic energy of the molecules decreases

D

The number of molecules of the gas increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Boyle's law, when a gas is expanded at constant temperature, its pressure decreases. Kinetic energy is a function of temperature only, so it remains the same.

If a gas expands at constnat temperature .

When a gas expands at constant temperature, why does the pressure decrease? Explanin it on the basis of kinetic theory of gases.

One mole of a gas is carried through the cycle shown in Fig. The gas expands at constant temperature T from volume V to 2V . It is them compressed to the initial volume at constant pressure and is finally brought back to its original state by heating at constant volume. Calculate the work done by the gas in complete cycle.

One mole of an ideal gas expands at a constant temperature of 300 K from an initial volume of 10 litres to a final volume of 20 liters. The work done in expanding the gas is (R=8.31 J// "mole"-K) (in joules)
