A gas is compressed isothermally to half...

A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process untill its volume is again reduced to half. Then

A

compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.

B

compresing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be more.

C

compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.

D

which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) require more work will depend upon the atmicity of the gas.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`W_(ext)` = negative of area with volume - axis.

`W("adiabatic") gt W("isothermal")`.
