Question

A sample of nitrogen gas is inside a sealed container. The container is slowly compressed, while the temperature is kept constant. This is a(n) ________ process. A sample of nitrogen gas is inside a sealed container. The container is slowly compressed, while the temperature is kept constant. This is a(n) ________ process.

a. adiabatic
b. constant-volume
c. isobaric
d. isothermal

Answer 1

The correct option is d isothermal

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Data given

An adiabatic process is a process in which no heat is gained or lost by the system.

A constant- volume process, also called an isochoric process is a process in which the volume is held constant, meaning that the work done by the system will be zero.

An Isobaric process is a thermodynamic process taking place at constant pressure

An isothermal process is a thermodynamic process, in which the temperature of the system remains constant

Step 2: This situation

The container is slowly compressed, while the temperature is kept constant.

This is an isothermal process.

The correct option is d isothermal
