Homework Statement
The is a piston the is massless and moves with friction
A) assuming that out gas is ideal, we will get v = constant T. What are your variables in this case?
B) If you plot V vs T on a graph, what is the slop of your graph?
C) What is the number of moles for this gas?
D) Using the numbers of moles and slope, determine pressure.
Homework Equations
PV = nRT?
The Attempt at a Solution
Once again, this is from my physics TA and I have no clue how to approach it. The only thing I could think of is that he is implying that we are supposed to use PV = nRT, since then v is directly proportionate to T. I am not sure how to use this to determine the number of moles, unless I am supposed to assume 1?
I guess my question is how would you approach this? I am not really sure what it is asking for.
