The volume of an ideal gas is doubled in an isothermal process. Then, which of the following is true?
Options
- AWork done by the gas is positive
- BWork done by the gas is negative
- CInternal energy of the system decreases
- DInternal energy of the system increases
Correct answer
A. Work done by the gas is positive
Step-by-step solution
For isothermal process, d U=0 aligned & Work done =d W=p (V₂-V₁ ) & d W=+p V [ V₂=2 V₁=2 V ] & aligned
