In an adiabatic process, which of the following
statements is true?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
The molar heat capacity is zero
Option C (The molar heat capacity is zero) is correct because in an adiabatic process, there is no heat transfer (Q=0), and molar heat capacity is defined as C = Q/nΔT, so C=0.
