Question 22

A rigid, sealed titanium cylinder contains a fixed mass of argon gas. The cylinder is moved from a sub-zero scientific outpost at -35degC into a heated calibration chamber at 65degC.

Assuming the thermal expansion of the titanium cylinder is negligible, which of the following properties of the argon gas remains completely unchanged?

A

The density of the gas inside the cylinder

B

The total internal energy of the gas

C

The mean square speed of the argon atoms

D

The average force exerted per unit area on the inner walls of the cylinder
