You have four samples of ideal gas, each of which contains the same number of moles of gas and has the same initial temperature, volume, and pressure. You compress each sample to one-half of its initial volume. Rank the four samples in order from highest to lowest value of the final pressure. (i) A monatomic gas compressed isothermally; (ii) a monatomic gas compressed adiabatically; (iii) a diatomic gas compressed isothermally; (iv) a diatomic gas compressed adiabatically.
