Two Samples of a Monatomic Ideal Gas Are in Separate

question 63

Multiple Choice

Two samples of a monatomic ideal gas are in separate containers at the same conditions of pressure, volume, and temperature (V = 1.00 L and P = 1.00 atm) . Both samples undergo changes in conditions and finish with V = 2.00 L and P = 2.00 atm. However, in the first sample, the volume is changed to 2.0 L while the pressure is kept constant, and then the pressure is increased to 2.00 atm while the volume remains constant. In the second sample, the opposite is done. The pressure is increased first, with constant volume, and then the volume is increased under constant pressure.
-Calculate the difference in w between the first sample and the second sample.

• A) -2.00 L•atm
• B) 1.00 L•atm
• C) 2.00 L•atm
• D) -1.00 L•atm
• E) none of these

Definitions:

Weighted Mean

An average where each data point contributes to the mean with a weight that reflects its importance or frequency.

Median

The middle value in a set of data when the values are arranged in ascending or descending order, or the average of the two middle values when there is an even number of values.

Extreme Scores

Observations or data points that are significantly higher or lower than the majority of other values in a dataset, potentially influencing overall analysis.

Minimal Impact

An effect so small that it may not have significant consequences or noticeable effects.
