Detailed Solution
i) During isothermal expansion. Temperature is constant ∴T1=T2 is trueii) During adiabatic expansion cooling effect takes place, because decrease in internal energy converted into work ΔU=−W so final temperature T3 is less than initial temperature T1 so given T3>T1 is falseiii) From the graph area under the isothermal PV curve > Area under adiabatic PV curve∴Wisothermal>Wadiabatic is trueiv) During adiabatic expansion internal energy decreases than initial ∴ΔU=−Vewhere as, in isothermal process internal energy remains constant ∴ΔU=0ΔUisothermal>ΔUaidabaticis true
