If an ideal gas is compressed isothermally. Which of the following statements is true?

A

Energy is transferred into the gas by heat.

B

Work is done by the gas

C

Pressure of the gas decreases

D

The internal energy of the gas remains constant

(KVPY-2021)

Solution

(D)

$Q =\Delta U + W$

For isothermal process $\Delta U =0$

$\therefore$ Internal energy remains constant

$Q = W$

Positive work done by external agent is completely lost in the form of heat.

As volume gets reduced, pressure increases

$( PV =$ constant $)$
