An ideal monatomic gas is held in a perfectly insulated cylinder fitted with a movable piston. The initial pressure of the gas is 110 kPa, and its initial temperature is 280 K. By pushing down on the piston, you are able to increase the pressure to 140 kPa. (a) During this process, did the temperature of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain. (b) Find the final temperature of the gas.
