Question

Can a system be heated and its temperature remains constant?

✓

Answer

If the system does work aganist the surrounding so that it compensates for the heat supplied, the tempreature can remain constant. It is given that $\Delta\text{T}=0\Rightarrow\Delta\text{U=0}$$\therefore\Delta\text{Q}=\Delta\text{U}+\Delta\text{W}$
$\Rightarrow\Delta\text{Q}=\Delta\text{W}$ so heat supplied to the system is utilized in expansion system is isothermal.
