        Solution:

        1. Answer: d

          For the thermally insulated system, question 25 solution

          ⇒dQ = 0

          and when the cock is removed

          dw = 0

          (Because in vacuum dw = 0)

          ⇒dQ = du + dw

          So du also zero 

          Following are the essential conditions for the adiabatic process to take place. The system must be perfectly insulated from the surrounding. the process must be carried out quickly so that there is a sufficient amount of time for heat transfer to take place.

          According to question both conditions satisfied so process will be adiabatic.
