A 4-mol ideal gas system undergoes an adiabatic process where it expands and does 28 J of work on its environment.How much heat is received by the system?
A) −20 J
B) zero
C) +28 J
D) +7 J

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange between the system and its environment. Therefore, the heat received by the system is zero (Q = 0). The only work is done by the system, which is given as 28 J.
