Explanation:
Air has mass, gravity pulls it, creating weight. Pressure at any point is weight of air column above per unit area. At sea level ~10⁵ Pa. Decreases with altitude.
Explanation:
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.
