For an isothermal reversible compression of an ideal gas_______________?
Correct answer: A. ΔE = ΔH = 0
- A. ΔE = ΔH = 0
- B. Only ΔH =0
- C. Only ΔE = 0
- D. dQ = dE
Explanation
For an ideal gas, both internal energy and enthalpy depend only on temperature. An isothermal process therefore has ΔE = 0 and ΔH = 0, even though heat and work are exchanged during compression.
