The atmospheric temperature decreases when snow starts melting because the from the atmosphere to melt. a. releases thermal energy b. absorbs thermal energy c. releases temperature d. absorbs temperature

Agas initially at p1 = 1 bar and occupying a volume of 0.5 liter is compressed within a piston–cylinder assembly to a final pressure p2 = 4 bar. (a) if the relationship between pressure and volume during the compression is pv = constant, determine the volume, in liters, at a pressure of 3 bar. (b) repeat for a linear pressure–volume relationship between the same end states. reference

At very high pressures, gases become and will eventually a) more dense; become hotter b) more dense; change to a liquid or solid c) less dense; combust d) less dense; turn into a liquid
