Which of the following processes is isothermal?
  1. Heating a gas in a closed container
  2. Compressing a gas without heat exchange
  3. Allowing a gas to expand slowly while maintaining constant temperature
  4. Cooling a gas in a closed container

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following processes is isothermal?
  • Step 1: Understand what isothermal means. Isothermal means that the temperature remains constant during the process.
  • Step 2: Identify the process being described. In this case, it involves a gas expanding slowly.
  • Step 3: Recognize that if the gas expands slowly and the temperature stays the same, it is an isothermal process.
  • Step 4: Conclude that allowing a gas to expand slowly while maintaining constant temperature is indeed an isothermal process.
