One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas is at 2.00bar and 10.0L. For infinitesimal reversible changes from this state, select the correct statement(s).
AThe adiabat and isotherm have the same slope at this point
BThe slope of the isotherm, dP/dV, is −0.200barL−1
CFor a small volume increase the pressure falls more along the adiabat than along the isotherm
DThe slope of the adiabat, dP/dV, is −0.333barL−1
Answer: B, C, D
Isotherm: PV= const gives dP/dV=−P/V=−0.200barL−1. Adiabat: PVγ= const gives dP/dV=−γP/V=−0.333barL−1 with γ=5/3. Because γ>1 the adiabat is steeper, so the pressure drops faster along it.
