Specific heat of a gas for a reversible adiabatic process is________________?
Correct answer: B. Zero
- A. Negative
- B. Zero
- C. Infinity
- D. None of these
Explanation
For a reversible adiabatic process, δQ = 0, so the path heat capacity defined by C = δQ/dT is zero. This does not mean the gas has zero constant-pressure or constant-volume heat capacity; it refers to the adiabatic path.
