No, it isn't. This is because the first law relation Q - W = ΔU reduces to W = 0 in this case since the system is adiabatic (Q = 0) and ΔU = 0 for the isothermal processes of ideal gases. Therefore, this adiabatic system cannot receive any net work at constant temperature.

Can volume vary in an isolated system?

In an isolated system, the total volume remains constant, as no mass or energy is transferred across its boundaries. Any changes in volume within the system must be compensated by corresponding changes in other components to maintain equilibrium.


Is hydrogen compression possible?

Yes, hydrogen compression is possible and commonly used to store and transport hydrogen gas at high pressure. This is typically done using compressors that increase the pressure of the hydrogen gas, allowing it to be stored in pressurized tanks for various applications such as fuel cells or industrial processes.


Is it possible for an air mass to change in temperature if no heat is added or subtracted?

Yes, an air mass can change in temperature through adiabatic processes, such as expansion or compression. When an air mass expands, it cools down, and when it is compressed, it warms up, all without heat being added or subtracted from the system.


What happens when you try to push the atoms close together?

When atoms are pushed close together, they experience repulsion due to the electrostatic forces between their positively charged nuclei. This repulsion increases as the distance between atoms decreases, making it difficult to compress them further. If the force pushing the atoms together is too strong, it can lead to the atoms overcoming this repulsion and bonding together in a chemical reaction.


How do you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?

Density is the ratio mass/volume. For a granular material you need a helium pycnometer.Or - more simple, if it is possible - a graduate cylinder for the measure of the volume by the displacement of water.
