Consider a Cylinder of Gas That Is Kept at Constant

question 8

Multiple Choice

Consider a cylinder of gas that is kept at constant temperature and whose volume can be changed by moving a piston. Suppose that, initially, the container holds 2 moles of gas at a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 300 K. With the temperature held constant, the pressure is raised to 101 kPa, producing a change in volume. By calculating the change in volume, determine the bulk modulus for this gas, under these conditions.

• A) 1.01 × 10⁵ N/m²
• B) 2.02 × 10⁵ N/m²
• C) 1.01 × 10⁴ N/m²
• D) 2.02 × 10⁴ N/m²
• E) 2.02 × 10⁶ N/m²
