question 77

Multiple Choice

On a PV diagram,2 curves are plotted,both starting at the same point and both ending at the same final increased volume.One curve is for an isothermal process;the other is for an adiabatic process.What does the area between these two curves represent?

• A)Q absorbed by the isothermal process.
• B)W done by the adiabatic process.
• C)ΔU for the isothermal process.
• D)Neither Q,W,nor ΔU for either of the processes is represented.
