Is there a guide for the properties of ideal gasses?

[PhyIsOhSoHard]

What I'm asking for is if there is a guide for the properties of processes like isochoric, isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic.

For instance, a comprehensive guide that tells me that the pressure in an isobaric expansion is the same before and after, etc.

If there isn't, does anybody have any good rule of thumbs when asked questions like that?

You realize that isobaric means equal pressures, and has nothing to do with ideal gases?

Oh, I see. Actually when I looked at my notes I found a place where it says the change in pressure is zero. It's just a lot of information to keep up with. Thanks! :)

When you learn any new scientific area, one of the first steps has to be learning the terminology.

Yes, there are several resources available that provide information on the properties of ideal gases and their processes. One such guide is the Ideal Gas Law Handbook, which outlines the fundamental principles and equations for ideal gases, including isochoric, isobaric, isothermal, and adiabatic processes. Additionally, many textbooks and online resources on thermodynamics and gas laws also provide detailed explanations and examples of these processes.

As for rules of thumb, it is important to remember the key relationships between pressure, volume, and temperature for each process. For example, in an isochoric process, the volume remains constant, so the pressure and temperature are directly proportional (if one increases, the other also increases). In an isobaric process, the pressure remains constant, so the volume and temperature are directly proportional. In an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant, so the pressure and volume are inversely proportional (if one increases, the other decreases). And in an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange, so the change in pressure and volume are related by the specific heat ratio of the gas. These relationships can serve as a useful guide when solving problems involving ideal gases and their processes.
