Q268

The work done in an adiabatic change in a particular gas depends upon changes in the __________ only.

A.
Temperature
Answer
B.
Specific heat
C.
Volume
D.
Pressure

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Since under adiabatic process  work done, and for ideal gas since change in internal energy is solely dependent on temperature it implies that the work done is only dependent on temperature. Here in the question the ideal gas should be used instead of any particular gas.
