Question

An ideal gas expands adiabatically


to three times of its original volume.
In doing so, the gas does 720 J of
work. Does its temperature rises or
falls? Support your answer.

Ans: Temp. will fall because internal energy depends on temperature.

isothermally, the compressing
agent does 36 J of work. How
much heat flows from the gas
during the compression process?

Ans: Q = 36 J
