The Ideal Gas Law is $p V=m R T$, where $p$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $m$ is the constant mass, $R$ is a constant, $T$ is the temperature, and $p$ and $V$ are functions of time. Find $d T / d t$, the rate at which the temperature changes with respect to time.

Key Concepts

Differentiation with Respect to Time

Differentiation with respect to time is a process used to compute the rate at which a quantity changes as time progresses. This concept is vital in dynamics and other fields where physical quantities like pressure, volume, and temperature vary with time, and it often involves applying the chain rule on equations such as the Ideal Gas Law to relate the variations of these interdependent variables.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law is a fundamental equation in thermodynamics that relates the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas through constants such as the gas constant and the mass of the gas. It serves as the starting point for connecting macroscopic observable properties and is essential for solving problems that involve changes in state variables under various conditions.

Implicit Differentiation

Implicit differentiation is a calculus technique used to differentiate equations where the variables are interdependent and not explicitly solved for one another. In the context of the Ideal Gas Law, this method is employed to determine the rate of change of one variable with respect to time by differentiating the entire equation while treating related variables as functions of time.
