Identify the characteristics of an adiabatic process in a monoatomic gas.
(A) Internal energy is constant.
(B) Work done in the process is equal to the charge in internal energy.
(C) The product of temperature and volume is a constant.
(D) The product of pressure and volume is a constant.
(E) The work done to change the temperature from

\mathrm{T}_1

\mathrm{T}_2

is proportional to \left(\mathrm{T}_2-\mathrm{T}_1\right)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

A(A), (C), (D) only
B(A), (C), (E) only
C(B), (E) only
D(B), (D) only

Correct answer

C. (B), (E) only

Step-by-step solution

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Q}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+\mathrm{W}=0 \Rightarrow-\Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{W} \\ & \mathrm{WD}=-\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{v}} \Delta \mathrm{T} \Rightarrow|\mathrm{WD}|=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{v}} \Delta \mathrm{T} \propto \mathrm{T}_2-\mathrm{T}_1\end{aligned}

\therefore \mathrm{B} \& \mathrm{E}
