Question
Give an equation state for an isochoric process.
Advertisements
Solution
The equation of state for an isochoric process is given by
P = `((μ"R")/"V") "T"`
where `((μ"R")/"V")` = Constant
We can infer that the pressure is directly proportional to temperature. This implies that the P-T graph for an isochoric process is a straight line passing through the origin.

Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.
Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
