A pressure P-absolute temperature T diagram was obtained when a given mass of gas was heated. During the heating process from the state 1 to state 2 the volume –
A
Remained constant
B
Decreased
C
Increased
D
Changed erratically
Answer
Increased
Explanation
Solution
PV = µRT
̃ V µ (Q µ and R are fixed)
Since,T increases rapidly and P increases slowly thus volume of the gas increases.
