In an adiabatic process:
Correct answer: C. There is perfect heat insulation
- A. Pressure is maintained constant
- B. The gas is isothermally expanded
- C. There is perfect heat insulation
- D. System exchanges heat with the surroundings
Explanation
During an adiabatic process, the system is completely insulated from its surroundings. Thus, it takes place without heat entering or leaving the system, i.e.,q=0. During an isobaric process, the pressure of the system is kept constant (ΔP=0). During the isochoric process, the volume of the system is kept constant. (ΔV=0). During an isothermal process. the temperature of the system is kept constant (ΔT=0 but q≠0).

About Thermochemistry and Energetics of Chemical Reactions
Thermochemistry measures energy changes in chemical reactions and distinguishes exothermic from endothermic processes. Work covers systems, surroundings and state functions, internal energy, the first law of thermodynamics, enthalpy and Hess's law, including the sign conventions used when heat enters or leaves a system.
