Q7 of 62 Page 68

In an adiabatic process, no transfer of heat takes place between system and surroundings. Choose the correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition from the following.

Reason: As it is an adiabatic process so q=0 and as it is free expansion of gas is there so w=0.

From the first law of Thermodynamics


ΔU = q + w


This means that ΔU will be 0 which indicates that temperature will remain constant.

The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression w = − dV. The work can also be calculated from the PV– plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (b) irreversibly from volume Vi to Vf. choose the correct option.
