Problem
A sample of ideal gas is taken from state X to state Y along a vertical line on a PV diagram; the volume remains fixed at 2.0L while the pressure increases. Which thermodynamic process best describes this path?
(a) Isothermal (constant temperature)
(b) Adiabatic (no heat transfer)
(c) Isochoric (constant volume)
(d) Isobaric (constant pressure)
