Whiteboarding! Ideal Gases


Five points representing five different states of one mole of an ideal gas are labeled on the
pressure—volume graph below. Rank the temperatures of the ideal gas in the five labeled
states. Explain your reasoning.

Five points representing five different states of one mole of an ideal gas are labeled on the
pressure—volume graph below. Rank the temperatures of the ideal gas in the five labeled
states. Explain your reasoning.

Answer: B > C > A > E > D. As prescribed in the Ideal Gas Law the temperature in each
state is proportional to the product of the pressure and volume

Whiteboarding! Ideal Gases
A cylinder contains two samples of different ideal gases. A piston separating the two gases is
free to move without friction. Each gas occupies half of the cylinder, but there are twice as
many molecules on the left side of the piston as on the right, and the absolute temperature is
twice as large for the gas on the right side as for the gas on the left. Is the pressure in the
gas on the left side greater than, less than, or equal to the pressure in the gas on the
right side? Explain.

right side? Explain.

Answer: They are equal. The volumes of the two gases


are the same and the products of the number of moles
and the absolute temperatures of the gases are also the
same.

Two cylinders are filled to the same height H with ideal gases. The gases are different, and
the cross-sectional areas of the cylinders are different. Both cylinders have pistons that are
free to move without friction. Is the temperature of the gas in cylinder A (a) greater than,
(b) less than, or (c) equal to the temperature of the gas in cylinder B? Explain.

A B Less than. The volume of the gas in case B is


A rea A o A rea 2 A o
twice the volume of the gas in case A, and
the pressures are the same (WHAT???
P is to n P is to n WHY???), as are the number of moles. From
2 kg 4 kg the ideal gas law, then, the absolute
H H temperature in case B will be double the
absolute temperature in case A.
