The adiabatic process can be defined as:
Correct answer: A. PV𝛾 = constant
- A. PV𝛾 = constant
- B. PV𝛾 = RT
- C. P/V𝛾 = RT/n
- D. PV𝛾 = nRT
Explanation
The adiabatic relation between pressure and v."PV𝛾 = Constant".Where 𝛾 is the specific heat ratio, i.e., 𝛾 = Cp/Cv.

About First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law relates heat supplied, work done and the change in internal energy through energy conservation. Problems use sign conventions and apply the law to isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric processes. Internal energy is a state function, while heat and work depend on the path followed.
