A gas is compressed adiabatically and, from the same initial state, compressed isothermally to the same final volume. In which case is more work done on the gas?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
On a plot the adiabatic curve is steeper, so it lies above the isotherm during compression. The area under it is larger. More work is done on the gas in the adiabatic case. A.
