An ideal gas expands in such a manner that its pressure and volume can be related by equation `PV^(2) = ` constant. During this process, the gas is

A

heated

B

cooled

C

neither heated nor cooled

D

first heated and then cooled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
b. For an isothermal process, `PV =` constant and for the given process `PV^(2) =` constant.
Therefore has is cooled because volume expands by a greater exponent than is in an isothermal porcess.
