How will the temperature of an ideal gas change in an adiabatic compression?

Explanation

In an adiabatic process, Q = 0
From the first law of thermodynamics,
`U_(f)-U_(i) = Q - W = 0 -W = -W or W = U_(i) - U_(f)`.
In a compression, W is negative.
So, `U_(i) - U_(f) < 0 or U_(i) < U_(f)`. This means that the internal energy increases. The temperature of an ideal gas will also increase with the increase in internal energy.
