An ideal gas undergoes isothermal process from some initial state I to final state f. Choose the correct alternatives
a) dU = 0
b) dQ = 0
c) dQ = dU
d) dQ = dW
The answer is the option (a) and (d).
Since the process is isothermal or T is constant
For an ideal gas, dU=Change in internal energy=nCvdT
dT=0 ;Thus dU=0
dQ=dU+dW
dQ=dW
Hence, a and d are correct.
