In an isochoric process,the internal (thermal)energy of a gas decreases by 50 J.How much work is done on the gas during this process?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an isochoric process, the volume remains constant. Therefore, there is no work done on or by the gas. The decrease in internal energy is solely due to the transfer of energy out of the gas in the form of heat. Hence, the work done on the gas during this process is zero.
