Question

and if the answer is C, please explain why it isnt  A , because from what i understand , since from c to a the volume is decreasing that means the temp is increasing so a should be a higher temp then c

9. shown in the p diagram: gas undergoes the expansion. p a A constant amount of ideal 1 an adiabatic processes from a to b; (2) an isochoric heating from b to c; (3) an isobaric compression from c to a. Rank the tempera- tures of the three states shown on the pV diagram from highest to lowest. A. a c b B., b a c C. c a b D. c b a

Explanation / Answer

c)c a b

Explanation

We know that for an ideal gas,

PV = n R T

T = PV/n R

n R are constant for the given case.

at a, Pressure is constant but volume is decreasing

at c, Pressure is increasing but volume is constant.
