During an adiabatic process,an ideal gas does 25 J of work.What is the change in the internal (thermal)energy of the gas during this process?
A) 0.00 J
B) 50 J
C) 25 J
D) -25 J
E) -50 J

During an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged between the system and the surroundings. Therefore, the change in internal energy of the gas is equal to the negative of the work done on the gas. So, the change in internal energy is -25 J.

During an Adiabatic Process,an Ideal Gas Does 25 J of Work.What
