Example Question #11 : Thermodynamics
What happens when an ideal gas is adiabatically compressed?
Possible Answers:
Thermal energy flows from the gas to the surroundings
Thermal energy flows from the surroundings to the gas
The temperature of the gas increases
None of the other answers
The temperature of the gas remains constant
Correct answer:
The temperature of the gas increases
Explanation:
Adiabatic means that no heat/energy is transferred. Since the gas is compressed and no heat is transferred, the volume decreases causing the pressure and temperature to rise.
