If a solid is compressed adiabatically in its elastic range, its _____________ remains constant ?
Correct answer: A. Entropy
- A. Entropy
- B. Enthalpy
- C. Internal energy
- D. Temperature
Explanation
Compression within the elastic range is treated as reversible, and an adiabatic reversible process is isentropic. Hence entropy remains constant, although temperature and internal energy generally increase during compression.
