Can the temperature of a gas be increased without adding heat to it?

Options

  1. ANo, the temperature of a gas can only increase with the addition of heat.
  2. BYes, through adiabatic compression, the temperature of a gas can increase.
  3. CNo, temperature and heat are directly proportional in a gas.
  4. DYes, by decreasing the volume of the gas, its temperature can increase without adding heat.

Correct answer

B. Yes, through adiabatic compression, the temperature of a gas can increase.

Step-by-step solution
