Question

True or False. 

  • The sign of the work done is negative if V<Vo.
  •  A P-V diagram consists of a graph in which the pressure of gas is plotted on a vertical axis for different values of volume plotted on the horizontal axis.
  •  If the volume increases, ΔV is positive and work W is negative.
  •  Isochoric means the pressure of the system remains constant.
  • The absolute pressure of a gas depends on the volume of a gas.
