A gas is compressed adiabatically, which one of the following statement is NOT true?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In adiabatic process,
Q = 0 and 
Using the first law of thermodynamics, 
(W is the work done by the gas, so -W will be the work done on the gas)
As the gas is compressed
W <0
Therefore, 
and hence 
T > 0.
