Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the change in internal energy (ΔU) for an isothermal process of an ideal gas? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what an isothermal process is. It is a process where the temperature of the system remains constant.
  • Step 2: Know that for an ideal gas, the internal energy (U) depends only on temperature.
  • Step 3: Since the temperature does not change in an isothermal process, the internal energy also does not change.
  • Step 4: Therefore, the change in internal energy (ΔU) is equal to 0.
