When an ideal gas is compressed adiabatically, its temperature rises the molecules on the average have more kinetic energy than before. The kinetic energy increases
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
if an ideal gas is compressed adiabatically, its temperature rises, because heat produced cannot be lost to the surrounding. Each molecules has more KE than before because of collisions of molecules with moving parts of the wall (ie., piston compressing the gas).
