Flashcards
Volume halved, isothermal process
Volume halved, isothermal process
In an isothermal process, if the volume of an ideal gas halves, the pressure doubles.
Volume doubled, isothermal process
Volume doubled, isothermal process
In an isothermal process, if the volume of an ideal gas doubles, its pressure decreases by half.
Volume decreases to two thirds
Volume decreases to two thirds
If the volume decreases to two thirds its original size, the pressure increases to one and a half times its original pressure.
