Answer: a) Q>0,_U=0,W>0 In an isothermal process the internal energy remains constant (_U = 0). In an expansion the gas does work on the surroundings (W = 0). Since the internal energy is constant and the work is positive, the first law of thermodynamics requires the heat absorbed also be positive (Q = 0).
