The work done in an adiabatic change in a particular gas depends only upon

Question

The work done in an adiabatic change in a particular gas depends only upon (A) change in volume (B) change in temperature (C) change in pressure (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In adiabatic process, no heat is taken or given by the system
i.e.,

Δ Q = 0 \Rightarrow Δ U = - Δ W

If

Δ W

is negative (work done on system), then

Δ U

increases

&

temperature increases and vice-versa. So work done in adiabatic change in particular gas (ideal gas) depends on change in temperature.

Q. The work done in an adiabatic change in a particular gas depends only upon

change in volume

change in temperature

change in pressure

None of these

In adiabatic process, no heat is taken or given by the system i.e., ΔQ=0⇒ΔU=−ΔW If ΔW is negative (work done on system), then ΔU increases & temperature increases and vice-versa. So work done in adiabatic change in particular gas (ideal gas) depends on change in temperature.
