When an ideal gas undergoes an isothermal process, $(a)$ no work is done by the system, $(b)$ no heat is absorbed by the system, $(c)$ the heat absorbed by the system equals the change in the system's internal energy, $(d)$ the heat absorbed by the system equals the work done by the system.

Step 1

1 of 4

From the first law of thermodynamics, we obtain the equation for the internal energy of gas $\Delta E_{\text {int }}$ as represented below:

\begin{align*} \Delta E_{\text {int }}=Q_{\mathrm{in}}-W_{\text{by}}\tag 1 \end{align*}

$Q_{\mathrm{in}}$ represents the amount of the heat absorbed by the gas and $W_{\text{by}}$ is the work done by the system.
