Which one is not an adiabatic process?
Correct answer: B. Cloud formation
- A. Escape of air from burst tyre
- B. Cloud formation
- C. Slow expansion
- D. Rapid compression
Explanation
Cloud formation is not an adiabatic process. It involves various processes such as condensation and evaporation, which typically involve heat exchange with the surroundings

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.

The second law of thermodynamics implies that:
"At constant pressure, the volume of gas is directly proportional to Absolute Temperature". This is known as:
If 500 cm3 of gas, having a pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury, is compressed into a volume of 300 cm3 given the temperature remains constant, the pressure of the gas will be, in millimeters of mercury, approximately:
