  1. Heating a gas in a closed container
  2. Compressing a gas without heat exchange
  3. Cooling a gas at constant pressure
  4. Evaporating water at room temperature

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following processes is adiabatic?
  • Step 1: Understand what an adiabatic process means. It is a process where no heat is transferred in or out of a system.
  • Step 2: Think about examples of adiabatic processes. One common example is compressing a gas quickly, where the gas does not have time to exchange heat with its surroundings.
  • Step 3: Identify if the options given in the question involve heat exchange. If they do not involve heat exchange, they are likely adiabatic.
  • Step 4: Choose the option that describes a process where heat is not exchanged with the surroundings.
