Expert Answer:
Dear student,
1. Heat: Adiabatic expansion is an increase in volume while pressure is maintained constant. When this occurs, temperature also increases.
Isothermal expansion is an increase in volume while temperature is maintained constant. When this occurs, pressure decreases.
Isothermal expansion is an increase in volume while temperature is maintained constant. When this occurs, pressure decreases.
