How do you use the ideal gas law to derive the equation for the function PV for an ideal gas undergoing an isothermal process?

The ideal gas equation says that pV=nRT.
p = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = gas constant
T = temperature
Keeping temperature constant and presuming we don't add or subtract any of the gas, thus keeping the number of moles constant, we have:
pV=constant
or
V=1/const.
Where const. = nRT. And this gives the specific curve.

∙ 15y agoThe ideal gas law, PV = nRT, is based on the fact that pressure is proportional to both the number of gas moles present and the temperature, but inversely proportional to volume. By rearranging the variables and finding the constant for the equation (represented by R) through experiment, we can establish the above relationship.

What isothermal process?
Isothermal process is a process in which change in pressure and volume takes place at a constant temperature.
What is true about isothermal process?
An isothermal process is one which does not take in or give off heat; it is perfectly insulated. Iso = same, thermal = heat. In real life there are very few isothermal processes. Heat loss accounts for most process inefficiencies.
Example of isothermal process?
An isothermal process is a change in a system where the temperature stays constant (delta T =0). A practical example of this is some heat engines which work on the basis of the carnot cycle. The carnot cycle works on the basis of isothermal.
Which of the following is true of an isothermal process Temperature is constant W equals Q ΔU equals 0 Pressure is constant?
Temperature is constant.
What is a chemical equation for this process?
The process is not named !!
Which process will lead to larger work output isothermal process or polytropic process with n1.25?
The process equation for this is PV up to the nth power which equals C. The polytrophic process is 1.25 which is the n in the equation.
What isothermal process?
Isothermal process is a process in which change in pressure and volume takes place at a constant temperature.
Is formation of ice an isothermal process?
yes
Why carnot cycle is called a two adiabatic and two isothermal process?
Adiabatic means there's no heat transference during the process; Isothermal means the process occurs at constant temperature. The compression and expansion processes are adiabatic, whereas the heat transfer from the hot reservoir and to the cold reservoir are isothermal. Those are the two adiabatic and isothermal processes.

How ice is isothermal?
yes it is an isothermal process because the temperature remains constant while the ice changes its state from solid to liquid.
What are the characteristics of isothermal process?
uhnn. cold, hard.and long
How does the volume change in an isentropic process?
The entropy of an ideal gas during an isothermal process may change because normally the entropy is a net zero. The change of on isothermal process can produce positive energy.
What statement best describe the isothermal process?
The temperature remains constant
What is isothermal?
uhnn. cold, hard.and long
What is the equation for isothermal process?
At the boiling point the energy goes into breaking the intermolecular bonds, but the average kinetic energy stays constant and so does the temperature until all of the bonds are broken and the substance is in the vapor state.
