The constant Volume process, also known as Isovolumetric, is where the volume is constant and does not change. In a P, V, Diagram this should be where volume is constant where Pressure is increased. The work done (area under the curve) would be = to 0 in this case.

Why Do Gasses Have Two Specific Heats?

One is for constant pressure, the other is for constant volume. These are not the same; for example, if the pressure is maintained constant, and the gas is heated, the volume changes.


Is water have specific heat at constant volume or not?

Yes it has! the specific heat of water at constant volume is given by cV : Heat capacity at constant volume cP : Heat capacity at constant pressure : Thermal expansion coefficient : Isothermal compressibility : Density


When the temperature is constant will the the volume of a gas decrease as the pressure decreases?

At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.


Has a constant volume nut no fixed shape?

A liquid has a constant volume but no fixed shape.


What happens to the volume of a gas when the number of moles is doubled (all else held constant)?

At a constant volume the pressure increase.


Does gas retain it's volume at varying temps and pressures?

It can but, not necessarily so. At a constant volume the temperature and pressure rise in direct proportion. At a constant temperature the volume is inversely proportionate to the pressure. At a constant pressure the volume is directly proportionate to the temperature.


What is the constant and the variables in Boyles law?

In Boyle's law, the constant is the temperature of the gas. The variables are the pressure and volume of the gas. Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.


When the temperature of a gas is constant will the volume increase or decrease as the pressure decreases?

When the temperature of a gas is constant and the pressure decreases, the volume will increase. This is described by Boyle's Law, which states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each other.


Why constant pressure is always greater than constant volume?

You can't compare pressure with volume. Presumably, somebody was talking about something being greater AT constant pressure, compared to constant volume.
