6. What happens to the internal energy of a gas during:(a) An isothermal expansion (b) An adiabatic expansion |
|
Answer» For isothermal expansion, Theirinternal energychanges with changeinpressure, even if temperature is constant.Foran idealgas,inanisothermal process, Δ U = 0 = Q − W , so . Theinternal energyis a state function dependent on temperature. Hence, theinternal energychange is zero. |
