Interpret pressure, volume, and temperature data

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Pressure volume product

A pressure-volume data point in a entropy mixing demonstration is \(P=260\,\text{kPa}\) and \(V=2.2\,\text{L}\). Calculate \(PV\). Use the diagram first, then calculate the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the physics meaning.

Worked practice: physics data and result

Read the physical quantities first, then calculate the result and state what it means.
