Questions  

A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then

a
Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
b
Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
c
Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.
d
Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

V1=V,V2=V/2on P-V diagramArea under adiabatic curve>Area under isothermal curve. So compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
