  4. Isochoric cooling

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following processes does the temperature of a gas increase?
  • Step 1: Understand what adiabatic compression means. It is a process where a gas is compressed without any heat exchange with its surroundings.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when a gas is compressed, the molecules are pushed closer together, which increases their energy.
  • Step 3: Realize that this increase in energy leads to an increase in temperature of the gas.
  • Step 4: Conclude that in adiabatic compression, the work done on the gas causes its temperature to rise.
