Air at N.T.P. is compressed adiabatically to half of its volume.Calculate the change in the temperature
Answer»
The universal gas law is PV = nRT. P is pressure, V is volume, n is the amount of gas (mass, number of molecules, etc) R is a constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvins.
So since the pressure and the amount of gas is constant Volume is proportional to temperature.
