Just say an ideal gas goes through process such as isobaric, isochoric, quasistatic, adiabatic etc, is there any special cases where entropy is conserved, or am i thinking enthalpy. Also how is enthalpy found in adiabatic processes?

Hi, So let's take the standard example of a gas in a container with a piston at the top. Charles' Law states that at constant pressure, an increase in temperature (kinetic energy of gas molecules) will increase the volume. This makes sense both conceptually and mathematically (per PV = nRT)...

[SOLVED] Isobaric process Hi, need some help with this. I got to moles of an ideal gas that are heated at constant pressure from T=27 C to T=107C. How do I calculate the work done by the gas? I know that for a isobaric process the work is given by W = p(V2-V1) Thanks
