Which process does an isobaric change describe?

  • A.A change at constant volume, so that the density of the sample remains fixed throughout the whole process
  • B.A change at constant temperature
  • C.A change in which no heat is exchanged between the sample and its surroundings during the whole process
  • D.A change at constant pressure

Answer: D

Isobaric means at constant pressure, isochoric at constant volume, isothermal at constant temperature and adiabatic without heat exchange. Cooling to the dew point is an isobaric process, while a rising parcel undergoes an approximately adiabatic one. Keeping the four prefixes straight is essential because each corresponds to a different form of the first law. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
