Question: During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does -150 J of work against its surroundings. This implies that
Options:
A) 150 J heat has been removed from the gas
B) 300 J of heat has been added to the gas
C) no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
D) 250 J of heat has been added to the gas
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
