For an isothermal expansion of a perfect gas,the value of $\frac{\Delta P}{P}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $-\gamma^{1/2} \frac{\Delta V}{V}$
  • B
    $-\frac{\Delta V}{V}$
  • C
    $-\gamma \frac{\Delta V}{V}$
  • D
    $-\gamma^2 \frac{\Delta V}{V}$

Two identical containers $A$ and $B$ with frictionless pistons contain the same ideal gas at the same temperature and the same volume $V$. The mass of the gas in $A$ is ${m_A}$ and that in $B$ is ${m_B}$. The gas in each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to the same final volume $2V$. The changes in the pressure in $A$ and $B$ are found to be $\Delta P$ and $1.5 \Delta P$ respectively. Then:

Is the melting of ice an adiabatic or an isothermal process?
