In an adiabatic process, how does the temperature of a gas change as its volume decreases?
Answer: The temperature increases
Explanation
In an adiabatic process, when the volume of a gas decreases, the temperature of the gas increases.
- In an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged with the surroundings.
- When the volume decreases, the gas is compressed, and work is done on the gas.
- This work increases the internal energy of the gas, which raises its temperature.
