Questions

1.

When the syringe volume is suddenly cut in half, the pressure changes by more than a factor of 2. Why does it momen-
tarily spike above 200 kPa?

2.

When the syringe volume is suddenly cut in half, both the temperature and the pressure go up. After a short time, the 
temperature approaches room temperature, but the pressure approaches some new, higher value. Why doesn't the 
pressure decrease back to its original value like the temperature does?

3.

When the plunger is released in the last part of the data run, what happens to the temperature? Why?
