37. Two completely identical samples of the same ideal gas are in equal volume containers with the same pressure and temperature in containers labeled A and B . The gas in container A performs non-zero work W on the surroundings during an isobaric (constant pressure) process before the pressure is reduced isochorically (constant volume) to `12\frac{1}{2}` its initial amount. The gas in container B has its pressure reduced isochorically (constant volume) to `12\frac{1}{2}` its initial value and then the gas performs non-zero work W on the surroundings during an isobaric (constant pressure) process. After the processes are performed on the gases in containers A and B , which is at the higher temperature? (A) The gas in container A (B) The gas in container B (C) The value of the work W is necessary to answer this question. (D) The value of the work W is necessary, along with both the initial pressure and volume, in order to answer the question. (A) The gas in container A (B) The gas in container B (C) The value of the work W is necessary to answer this question.
