An insulated cylinder is fitted with an airtight piston that is free to slide up and down and is connected to a rod. Contained within the cylinder is an ideal gas initially at a pressure of 120 kPa and temperature of 293 K. Suddenly the piston is forced downward creating an additional 200 kPa of pressure on the gas and as a result the cylinder volume decreases to one-half of its original volume.
(a) What is the final temperature of the gas?
(b) This process is best described as (circle one option): Isothermal, Isovolumetric, Isobaric, Adiabatic, None of these.
(c) Justify your choice for part (b).

An insulated cylinder is fitted with an airtight piston that is
free to slide up and down and is connected to a rod, as shown in
the figure. Contained within the cylinder is an ideal gas initially
at a pressure of 120 kPa and temperature of 293 K. Suddenly the
piston is forced downward creating an additional 200 kPa of
pressure on the gas and as a result the cylinder volume decreases

A cylinder of monatomic ideal gas is sealed in a cylinder by a
piston. Initially, the gas occupies a volume of 3.00 L and the
pressure is initially 105 kPa. The cylinder is placed in an oven
that maintains the temperature at a constant value. 65.0 J of work
is then done on the piston, compressing the gas (in other words,
the gas does −65.0 J of work). The work is done very slowly so that
the gas maintains a...

A cylinder contains an ideal gas at the temperature of 300 K and
is closed by a movable piston. The gas, which is initially at a
pressure of 3 atm occupying a volume of 30 L, expands isothermally
to a volume of 80 L. The gas is then compressed isobarically,
returning to its initial volume of 30 L. Calculate the work done by
gas: a) in isothermal expansion; b) in isobaric compression, c) in
the whole process; and d) Calculate...

A cylinder with a moveable piston on top, free to move up and
down, contains one mole of an ideal gas initially at a temperature
of Ti = 3.8°C. The cylinder is heated at a constant pressure of
1.00 atm, and it expands to seven times its original volume. (a)
Calculate the new temperature Tf of the gas (in K). (No Response) K

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a light frictionless
piston and maintained at atmospheric pressure. When 254 kcal of
heat is added to the gas, the volume is observed to increase slowly
from 12.0 m3 to 16.2 m3 .

A cylinder if fitted with a floating piston oriented
horizontally (the air is the system and by having a floating piston
it maintains constant pressure). It contains 24.5 L of air at 25.0C
and 1 bar pressure. The system is then heated to 250.0C. Air can be
considered a diatomic gas and therefore would have a Cv = 5R/2,
where R is the ideal gas constant. Also for gases Cp = Cv +R. How
much work was done (in J)...
