Thermodynamics Question 243
Question: The work done in an adiabatic change in a particular gas depends only upon
Options:
A) change in volume
B) change in temperature
C) change in pressure
D) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] In adiabatic process, no heat is taken or given by the system i.e.,
$ \Delta Q=0\Rightarrow \Delta U=-\Delta W $ If $ \Delta W $ is negative (work done on system), then $ \Delta U $ increases & temperature increases and vice-versa.
So work done in adiabatic change in particular gas (ideal gas) depends on change in temperature.
