Which of the following statements is/are true of adiabatic process?
1) In an adiabatic process, no energy such as heat flows into or out of the system.
2) An adiabatic process occurs when a system is thermally conducted to the surroundings.
3) For an adiabatic process, q = 0 and ΔE = w.

Question

​Which of the following statements is/are true of adiabatic process?
1) In an adiabatic process, no energy such as heat flows into or out of the system. 
2) An adiabatic process occurs when a system is thermally conducted to the surroundings. 
3) For an adiabatic process, q = 0 and ΔE = w.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) This statement is true. In an adiabatic process, the system is thermally insulated, meaning that no heat can flow into or out of the system.
2) This statement is false. An adiabatic process is the opposite of a process that is thermally conducted to the surroundings. In an adiabatic process, the system is insulated and cannot exchange heat with the surroundings.
3) This statement is true. For an adiabatic process, q = 0 because there is no heat exchange, so all the energy change comes from work done on or by the system. Therefore, ΔE = w.
