NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Which of the following statements about adiabatic processes is correct?
Options
- AAdiabatic processes involve heat transfer without work done.
- BAdiabatic processes are always isothermal.
- CAdiabatic processes result in a change in internal energy without heat transfer.
- DAdiabatic processes are in constant thermal equilibrium with the surroundings.
Correct answer
C. Adiabatic processes result in a change in internal energy without heat transfer.
Step-by-step solution
In adiabatic processes, there is no heat transfer between the system and surroundings, so any change in internal energy is solely due to work done.
