7. What do we call the process in which no exchange of heat energy takes place between the gas and the surroundings?
Adiabatic
Isothermal
Isochoric
Isobaric
Correct Answer :
Adiabatic
Solution
In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one in which no heat is transferred to or from the gas to its surroundings. This means that all changes in the internal energy of the system result from work done by or on the system, not from heat exchange.
- Adiabatic Process: No heat enters or leaves the system. The process can occur either by rapid compression or expansion, where there is not enough time for heat exchange, or in a perfectly insulated system.
