Question

For the process to occur under adiabatic conditions, the correct condition is: 

(i) ∆T = 0 

(ii) ∆p = 0 

(iii) q = 0 

(iv) w = 0 

Answer 1

A system is said to be under adiabatic conditions if there is no exchange of heat between 

the system and its surroundings. Hence, under adiabatic conditions, q = 0. 

Therefore, alternative (iii) is correct.
