Question

How can free expansion of gas take place at constant volume?? Expansion means there is an increase in volume right??

Solution

An isochoric process is one in which the volume is held constant, meaning that the work done by the system will be zero. It follows that, for the simple system of two dimensions, any heat energy transferred to the system externally will be absorbed as internal energy.
