An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. Which of the following are correct?
AIf the gas is heated at constant pressure, the work done by the gas equals nRΔT
BAt constant temperature, the product PV remains constant as the piston moves
CIf the external pressure is doubled at constant temperature, the density of the gas doubles
DThe number of molecules per unit volume at constant T is independent of pressure
Answer: A, B, C
At constant P, w=PΔV=nRΔT (A). Boyle's law gives constant PV (B). d=PM/RT∝P at constant T (C). Number density N/V=PNA/RT is proportional to P, so (D) is wrong.
