MCQ
In an adiabatic process, which of the following statements is true?
  • A
    The molar heat capacity is infinite
  • B
    Work done by the gas equals the increase in internal energy
  • The molar heat capacity is zero
  • D
    The internal energy of the gas decreases as the temperature increases

Answer

Correct option: C.
The molar heat capacity is zero
(C) The molar heat capacity is zero
Explanation: For adiabatic process, $dQ =0$
$\therefore$ Molar heat capacity $=0$
$\because dQ=0 \Rightarrow dU=-dW$
Also $dU =\frac{ f }{2} nRdT$
$\therefore$ Only option (3) is correct.
