What is the change in internal energy (ΔU) for an ideal gas in an isochoric process?
  1. ΔU = Q
  2. ΔU = W
  3. ΔU = 0
  4. ΔU = Q - W

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the change in internal energy (ΔU) for an ideal gas in an isochoric process?
  • Step 1: Understand what an isochoric process is. An isochoric process is one where the volume of the gas does not change.
  • Step 2: Recall that internal energy (ΔU) of an ideal gas depends on its temperature.
  • Step 3: In an isochoric process, since the volume is constant, any heat added to the gas will change its internal energy.
  • Step 4: Remember the relationship for internal energy in an isochoric process: ΔU = Q, where Q is the heat added to the system.
  • Step 5: Conclude that in an isochoric process, the change in internal energy is equal to the heat added.
