Solution
(a) The initial temperature must be equal to the final temperature.
(b) The initial internal energy must be equal to the final internal energy.
a) Let initial pressure, volume and temperature be P1, V1 and T1 and final pressure, volume and temperature be P2, V2 and T2. Then,
\[\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow T_1 = T_2...........\left[ P_1 = P_2\text{ and }V_1 = V_2 \right]\]
b) Internal energy is given by ΔU = nCvΔT.
Since ΔT = 0, ΔU = 0.
c) This may not be true because the system may be isothermal and in between, heat may have been given to the system. Also, the system may have done mechanical expansion work and returned back to its original state.
d) Not necessary because an isothermal system may have done work absorbing heat from outside and coming back to the same state losing heat.
