3. Fig. 16-1 A hypothetical apparatus for studying the behavior of gases. The pressure p, volume V, temperature T, and number of moles n, of a gas can be varied and measured.

4. Fig. 16-2 Cutaway of an automobile engine. While the air- gasoline mixture is being compressed prior to ignition, the intake and exhaust valves both are in the closed (up) position.

5. Fig. 16-2 Isotherms, or constant-temperature curves, for a constant amount of ideal gas. p = nRT / V

6. Fig. 16-4 pV diagram for a non-ideal gas, showing isotherms for temperatures above and below the critical temperature Tc.
