Detailed Solution

Free expansion, W = 0Adiabatic process, q =0ΔU=q+W=0, this means that internal energy remains constant. Therefore, ∆T = 0. In an ideal gas there is no intermolecular attraction. Hence, when such a gas expands under adiabatic conditions into a vacuum, no heat is absorbed or evolved since no external work is done to separate the molecules.
