A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a weightless, frictionless piston open to the atmosphere (1.0atm). Which statements are correct?
AThe pressure of the gas stays at 1.0atm whatever the temperature
BHeating the gas from 300K to 450K increases its volume by 50%
CThe density of the gas is inversely proportional to its kelvin temperature
DIf the piston is clamped and the gas is heated from 300 to 450K, the pressure becomes 1.5atm
Answer: A, B, C, D
A free piston keeps the gas at atmospheric pressure (A). At constant P, V∝T: 450/300=1.5, a 50% increase (B). d=PM/RT∝1/T at fixed P (C). At constant V, P∝T: 1.0×1.5=1.5atm (D). All correct.
