Apply the first law of thermodynamics to the following thermodynamic process using relevant equations of state and state function with explanation

Adiabatic process

Isothermal change

Isobaric process

Isochoric change

What conclusion can be drawn for each process?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello. Since your question has multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. If you want remaining sub-parts to be solved, then please resubmit the whole question and specify those sub-parts you want us to solve.

Step 2

(a)

Adiabatic process:

The equation of state for the adiabatic process is given by,

Physics homework question answer, step 2, image 1

The heat change (dQ) is zero in this process.

Thus, the thermodynamics first law for the adiabatic process takes the form.

The above result tells that, in the adiabatic process work done by the gas at the expense of the internal energy and there is no transfer of heat between system and surrounding.
