The temperature change associated with the adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas is defined as: Trinal = Tinitial (Vinitial / Vfinal)V where: Tinitial and Tfinal are the temperatures before and after the adiabatic expansion respectively; Vinitial and Vfinal are the volumes before and after the adiabatic expansion respectively; c = Cm/R; where Cmvis the molar isochoric heat capacity and R is the universal gas constant. Which of the following is true? O A. The higher the amount of the ideal gas, the greater the temperature change. O B. The higher the amount of the ideal gas, the smaller the temperature change. O C. The final volume is lower than the initial volume. O D. The temperature change is independent of the amount of the gas involved. E. The temperature change is inversely proportional to the molar isochoric heat capacity of the gas.

Question
The temperature change associated with the adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas is defined as:
Trinal = Tinitial (Vinitial / Vfinal)V
where:
Tinitial and Tfinal are the temperatures before and after the adiabatic expansion respectively;
Vinitial and Vfinal are the volumes before and after the adiabatic expansion respectively;
c = Cm/R; where Cmvis the molar isochoric heat capacity and R is the universal gas constant.
Which of the following is true?
O A. The higher the amount of the ideal gas, the greater the temperature change.
O B. The higher the amount of the ideal gas, the smaller the temperature change.
O C. The final volume is lower than the initial volume.
O D. The temperature change is independent of the amount of the gas involved.
E. The temperature change is inversely proportional to the molar isochoric heat capacity of
the gas.
