Ideal Gas Isothermal Compression
A sample of ideal gas undergoes an isothermal compression from 3.0 L to 1.0 L. If the initial pressure was 2.0 atm, what is the final pressure, and how does the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules change?
A
6.0 atm; average kinetic energy decreases
B
3.0 atm; average kinetic energy increases
C
6.0 atm; average kinetic energy remains constant
D
0.67 atm; average kinetic energy remains constant
