Specific heat of a gas undergoing adiabatic change is

  1. A zero
  2. B infinite
  3. C positive
  4. D negative
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know that, In case of adiabatic condition, heat change, \(\Delta Q=0\) and \(\Delta Q=n C_V \Delta T\) where, \(n\) is number of moles and \(\Delta T\) is change in temperature. \[ \therefore \quad C_V=\frac{\Delta Q}{n \Delta T}=0 \]
