If a gas undergoes the change in its thermodynamic state from A to B via two different paths, as shown in the given pressure (P) versus volume (V) graph, then:
1. | the temperature of the gas decreases in path 1 from A to B. |
2. | the heat absorbed by the gas in path 1 is greater than in path 2. |
3. | the heat absorbed by the gas in path 2 is greater than in path 1. |
4. | the change in internal energy in path 1 is greater than in path 2. |
