An ideal gas is compressed to half of its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?An ideal gas is compressed to half of its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in

Options

  1. AIsobaric
  2. BIsochoric
  3. CIsothermal
  4. DAdiabatic

Correct answer

D. Adiabatic

Step-by-step solution

An ideal gas is compressed to half of its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in

Since area under the curve is maximum for the adiabatic process so work done on the gas will be maximum for the adiabatic process.
