In a given process of an ideal gas, dW = 0 and dQ < 0 . Then for the gas
Options
- AThe temperature will decrease
- BThe volume will increase
- CThe pressure will remain contain
- DThe temperature will increase
Correct answer
A. The temperature will decrease
Step-by-step solution
From first law of thermodynamics, dQ = dU + dW dQ = dU , if dW = 0 Since, dQ < 0 Therefore, dU < 0 or U Final < U initial so, the temperature will decrease. Note: Internal energy U of an ideal gas depends only on the temperature of the gas. The internal energy of n moles of an ideal gas is given by nC v dT
