A cylinder contains 0.100 mol of an ideal monatomic gas. Initially the gas is at 1.00 * 105 Pa and occupies a volume of 2.50 * 10-3 m3. (a) Find the initial temperature of the gas in kelvins. (b) If the gas is allowed to expand to twice the initial volume, find the final temperature (in kelvins) and pressure of the gas if the expansion is (i) isothermal; (ii) isobaric; (iii) adiabatic.
