A gas is placed in a thermally insulated container as shown below

As the piston is slowly raised...

1.... the gas gives off heat to the environment (Q<0). 2.... the gas absorbs heat from the environment (Q>0). 3.... the gas does not exchange any heat with the environment (Q=0). 4.The heat exchanged with the environment cannot be determined.
