Q. The internal energy of an ideal gas decreases by the same amount as the work done by the system :

Thermodynamics

Solution:

As work done by the system is equal to decrease in internal energy of system which implies heat supplied to system is zero hence the process is adiabatic and due to decrease in internal energy temperature decreases.
