Answer to Question #160615 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Bawe

Question

When a gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, which of the following statements is true?
(a) The temperature of the gas does not change
(b) No work is done by the gas
(c) No energy is transferred to the gas by heat
(d) The internal energy of the gas does not change.

Answer 1

As we know, in the adiabatic process no energy is transferred to the gas by heat. Therefore, the correct answer is (c).

Answer:

(c) No energy is transferred to the gas by heat.
