Q.

In an adiabatic process, which of the following statements is true          [2025]

1 The molar heat capacity is infinite  
2 Work done by the gas equals the increase in internal energy  
3 The molar heat capacity is zero  
4 The internal energy of the gas decreases as the temperature increases  

Ans.

(3)

For adiabatic process, dQ = 0

  Molar heat capacity = 0

  dQ = 0  dU = –dW

Also, dU=f2nRdT

  Only option (3) is correct.
