Kinetic Theory and PV Diagrams

We began the class by using the ideal gas law equation of pV = nRT and finding out the relationships between each of the variables.

The picture above shows the relationships between each of the variables.

We then began to learn about the different types of processes that dealt with constant variables like either constant volume, pressure or temperature.

After that we gave examples of each of the different processes and are shown in the picture above.

We then solved problems and created a table that involved the different processes and filled in what was happening at each stage using the first law of thermodynamics.

Same thing was done for the picture above except using a different process.

Again, the same thing was done for the process above.
