Adiabatic vs Isothermal

[Scott Chin_1E]

What is the difference between an adiabatic system and an isothermal system? I know isothermal means that no heat is flowing in or out of the system (the system is isolated/insulated).

[Matthew 1C]

adiabatic means there is no heat transfer and isothermal means that the temperature stays constant

[ZoeHahn1J]

I believe adiabatic systems mean that no heat or matter is exchanged, only work, whereas isothermal is limited to heat.

[AtreyiMitra2L]

Adiabatic is when there is no transfer of heat. Iso thermal is when the change in internal energy is 0.

[Gwyneth Huynh 1J]

In adiabatic systems, q=0 whereas in isothermal reactions deltaT = 0.

[Kyung_Jin_Kim_1H]

Adiabatic: heat does not leave or enter system. This means that energy released as heat will not leave the system, but be used up as work (ex. gas expansion against a piston).

Isothermal: change in temperature (heat =/= temperature) is 0. This means that heat, or q, will be 0 (q=mCdeltaT)
