Question
A sample of ideal gas is compressed from initial volume of $2V_o$ to $V_o$ using three different processes (1) reversible isothermal (2) reversible adiabatic (3) irreversible adiabatic under a constant external pressure. Then
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Compressing an ideal gas via irreversible adiabatic path requires more work than the corresponding reversible adiabatic path, raising the internal energy ($\Delta U$) and therefore the final temperature maximally in the 3rd process.
