Question
Is a slow process always isothermal? ls a quick process always adiabatic?

Answer

As PV directly proportional to constant in isothermal process.
Thus volume varies slowly w.r.t pressure.
As in adiabatic process the volume decreases as PV directly proportional to constant.
So, isothermal process is slow process and adiabatic process is fast process.
