The first law of thermodynamics is Q = ∆U + W. For each of the following cases, state whether the internal energy of an ideal gas increases, decreases, or remains constant: (a) No energy is transferred to the gas as it expands to twice its original volume. (b) The gas volume is held constant while energy Q is removed. (c) The gas volume is held constant and no energy is transferred to or from the gas. (d) The gas temperature increases.

Explain why the temperature of a gas increases when itisadiabatically compressed.

A monoatomic ideal gas is held in a thermally insulated container with a volume of 0.0930 m³. The pressure of the gas is 115 kPa and its temperature is 325 K. To what volume must the gas be compressed to increase its pressure to 185 kPa?
