Question:

In an adiabatic chemical process, there is no net change (gain or loss) of heat. Suppose a container of oxygen is subjected to such a process. Then if the pressure on the oxygen is P and its volume is V, it can be shown that PV1.4 = C, where C is a constant. At a certain time, V = 5 m3, P = 0.6 kg/m2, and P is increasing at 0.23 kg/m2 per sec. What is the rate of change of V? Is V increasing or decreasing?
