This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement 1: In an adiabatic process, change in internal energy of a gas is equal to work done on/ by the gas in the process. Statement 2: The temperature of a gas remains constant in an adiabatic process.
  1. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation of Statement 1.
  2. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  3. Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
  4. Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.

Solution

In an adiabatic process, $\delta \mathrm{H}=0$ And according to first law of thermodynamics $ \begin{aligned} & \delta H=\delta U+W \\ & \therefore W=-\delta U \end{aligned} $
