Is adiabatic process slow or fast?

Statement I : The specific heat of a gas in an adiabatic process is zero but it is infinite in an isothermal process. Statement II : Molar specific heat of a gas is directly proportional to heat exchanged with the system and inversely proportional to change in temperature.

Adiabatic curves are much steeper than Isothermal -prove it.

When an adiabatic process is said to be an isoentropic process ?

Adiabatic curves are much steeper than isothermal-Prove it.

In an adiabatic process which of the following is true?

Adiabatic process is essentially a very fast process. Explain.

What is the change in internal energy in an isothermal process?

If the system involves gaseous substance, then pressure volume work W_(pv) = -P_(ext)DeltaV . It has been observed that, W_(rev) gt W_(ir) . Also the work of isothermal & adiabatic processes are different from each other : W_(isothermal reversible) = 2.303 nRT log(v_2/v_1) W_(adiabatic reversible) = -C_v(T_2-T_1) If W_1, W_2, W_3, W_4 are work done in isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric & isochoric reversible processes, then correct sequence would be
