Multiple Choice
The relation PV = nRT holds for all ideal gases. The additional relation PV holds for an adiabatic process. The figure below shows two curves: one is an adiabat and one is an isotherm. Each starts at the same pressure and volume. Which statement is correct? (Note: ' ' means 'is proportional to'.)
A) Isotherm: ; Adiabat:
: A is both an isotherm and an adiabat.
B) Isotherm: ; Adiabat:
: B is an isotherm, A is an adiabat.
C) Isotherm: ; Adiabat: : A is an isotherm, B is an adiabat.
D) Isotherm: ; Adiabat:
: B is both an isotherm and an adiabat.
E) cannot answer without additional information about the starting temperature.
