During an adiabatic process, a sample of gas does 400 J of work on the environment. What change occurs with the internal energy of the gas?

• The internal energy increases by 400 J.

• The internal energy doesn't change.

• The internal energy decreases by 400 J.

• There is not enough information if we don't know how much heat was added or removed.

If the temperature of a gas increases and there is negative work done on the gas, then...

• there must be heat added to the gas

• the gas must be giving off heat to the environment.

• this is an adiabatic process.

• there must be less heat added than the work done on the gas.
