For an adiabatic process,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For an adiabatic process, there is no exchange of heat with the surroundings (q=0) and the work done is not necessarily zero. However, since the process is adiabatic (no heat transfer), the change in energy of the system is solely due to the work done on or by the system, as given by the first law of thermodynamics: ΔE = q + w. Additionally, for an adiabatic process, the change in volume can affect the change in energy due to the work done, as given by the formula ΔE= -PΔV for an ideal gas. Therefore, the correct choices are A and D.
