An ideal gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. This means:
A.No heat is exchanged with the surroundings
B.The volume remains constant
C.The pressure remains constant
D.The temperature remains constant
Explanation
Core Concept
An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged between the system and its surroundings (Q = 0). The gas cools as it expands because it does work at the expense of its internal energy.
