Answer

Changes in the system where respectively the temperature, pressure and volume remain constant.

Work Step by Step

Processes refer to changes in a system. An isothermal process refers to change occuring at constant temperature, for example, a slow process where the system can exchange heat with an exterior thermal reservoir. An isobaric process refers to change occuring at constant pressure, for example heating a gas inside a cylinder with a piston. An isochoric process refers to change occuring at constant volume, for example a process ocurring inside a sealed container.
