MDCAT Physics MCQ #3421

  1. Question 1

    Q1. Why does the temperature of a gas remain constant during an isothermal expansion?

    • A) Because the gas is ideal
    • B) Because heat is absorbed by the gas
    • C) Because the gas is insulated
    • D) Because the expansion is slow

    Answer: Because heat is absorbed by the gas

    Explanation: Heat is absorbed, maintaining constant temperature; 'ideal gas' is a property, not the reason for constant temperature.
