In a given process, for an ideal gas, $\Delta W=0$ and $\Delta Q < 0$. Then, for the gas,
  1. the temperature will decrease
  2. the volume will increase
  3. the pressure will remain constant
  4. the temperature will increase

Solution

In the given process, for an ideal gas $\Delta W=0$ and $\Delta Q < 0$ By lst law of thermodynamics, $\Delta Q=\Delta W+\Delta U$ where, $\Delta U=$ internal energy of gas. $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \Delta Q=\Delta U \\ & \text { and also } \Delta U < 0 .\end{aligned}$ As the internal energy depends on temperature. Therefore, if change in internal energy is negative, it mean temperature of gas is decreased.
