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 work to be done

B

Compressing the gas through adiabatic proess is require more work to be done

C

Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically is require the same amount of work

D

Which of the case (whether compressor or through adiabatie process) requires more depend upon the atomicity 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")`
