Consider one mole of an ideal gas. Which statements are correct?

  1. AIn a reversible isothermal expansion the gas absorbs heat equal in magnitude to the work it does.
  2. BIn an adiabatic free expansion into vacuum, .
  3. CIn a reversible adiabatic expansion the temperature of the gas remains constant.
  4. DIn an isochoric heating, .

Answer: A, B

(A) so : true. (B) and (no external pressure), so : true. (C) In a reversible adiabatic expansion and the gas does work at the expense of , so it cools: false. (D) and on heating: false.
