During adiabatic compression of a gas the temperature A. Increases because no heat is transferred B. Remains constant because no heat is transferred. C. Remains constants because heat is transferred. D deceased because heat is transferred.

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

An adiabatic process is one in which there is no loss or gain of heat.

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

so that means A and D are already incorrect

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

I thought dE = dQ-dW Since its adiabatic I thought heat change was 0 And that it the gas temperature remains constant because no heat is being transferred but the gas is doing work on the surroundings. I got this wrong btw

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

It's saying its A I have no idea why

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

so you chose B and got it wrong.... hmm, that was gonna be my answer cause of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_process#Example_of_adiabatic_compression

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

a and d just dont make sense.... if theres more heat, why would the temp drop? if theres less heat why would the temp rise????
