Thermodynamic Processes Quiz

What is an adiabatic process?

• A process that occurs at constant volume

• A process that occurs at constant pressure

• A thermodynamic process with no heat transfer

• A process that involves the transfer of heat

In an adiabatic process, is there any heat exchange with the surroundings?

• Only at the beginning

• Sometimes

• Yes

• No

What is an isothermal process?

• A thermodynamic process that occurs at a variable temperature.

• A thermodynamic process that occurs at a constant temperature.

• A process that occurs without any change in temperature.

• A process that occurs at a constant pressure.

In an isothermal process, is the temperature constant?

• Sometimes

• Yes

• No

• Depends on the pressure

What is an isobaric process?

• A process in which the volume remains constant.

• A process in which the temperature remains constant.

• A process in which the pressure remains constant.

• A process in which the energy remains constant.

In an isobaric process, is the pressure constant?

• Yes

• Sometimes

• Depends on the temperature

• No

What is an isochoric process?

• A process in which the pressure of the system remains constant.

• A process in which the energy of the system remains constant.

• A process in which the temperature of the system remains constant.

• A process in which the volume of the system remains constant.

In an isochoric process, is the volume constant?

• Yes

• Depends on the temperature

• Sometimes

• No

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

• Energy can be transformed into matter.

• Energy can only be transferred.

• Energy can be created and destroyed.

State the equation for the first law of thermodynamics.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.

• Energy can be created, destroyed, transferred, or converted.

• Energy can only be created, not destroyed or transferred.

• Energy can be created or destroyed, but cannot be transferred or converted.
