Two identical containers, A and B, contain the same ideal gas at the same pressure and volume. Container A undergoes an isothermal expansion, while container B undergoes an adiabatic expansion, both to the same final volume. Which container experiences a greater change in internal energy?
Container A
Container B
Both containers experience the same change in internal energy.
Cannot be determined without knowing the specific heat capacity of the gas.
