Question

A gas contained in a piston cylinder assembly undergoes a process from state 1 to state 2 defined by the following relationship and given properties. Determine the final volume (V2) of the gas.P*V

Answer 1

V2 = 1/4

Explanation: P1 = 1; P2 = 2; V1 = 1/2; V2 = ?

P1*V1 = P2*V2

∴ V2 = P1*V1/P2 = {1 X 1/2}/2 = 1/4
