Question

An ideal gas has initial volume V and pressure P. In doubling its volume the minimum work done will be in the following process(of given processes)

• A. Isobaric process
• B. Isothermal process
• C. Adiabatic process
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Adiabatic process

Given: An ideal gas with initial volume V and pressure P.

Solution:

It is known that between two volume states,the minimum work is done if the $△Q=0$ , which is adiabatic process.

Hence the correct option is C.
