An ideal gas is allowed to expand both reversibly and irreversibly in an isolated system. If $T_i$ is the initial temperature and $T_f$ is the final temperature,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    $(T_f)_{rev} = (T_f)_{irrev}$
  • B
    $T_f = T_i$ for both reversible and irreversible processes
  • C
    $(T_f)_{irrev} > (T_f)_{rev}$
  • D
    $T_f > T_i$ for reversible process but $T_f = T_i$ for irreversible process
