Thermodynamic Processes
Heat is given to an ideal gas in an isothermal process. Then
A. internal energy of the gas will decrease.
B. internal energy of the gas will increase.
C. internal energy of the gas will not change.
D. the gas will do negative work.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Isothermal: (C true, A and B false).
- ; heat given means , so the gas does positive work (D false).
- So the answer is (b) C.
