Question 45
H

Two sealed pumps start with identical gas samples. Both are compressed to the same smaller volume. One pump is insulated and the other is kept at its initial temperature by a water bath. Which explains why the insulated gas finishes hotter?

[1]
A

Less of the work done remains in the gas; more energy is transferred to the surroundings.

B

More of the work done remains in the gas; more particles are created during compression.

C

Less of the work done remains in the gas; fewer particles are left after compression.

D

More of the work done remains in the gas; less energy is transferred to the surroundings.
