Can two states of an ideal gas be connected by an isothermal process as well as an adiabatic process?

An isothermal process is represented by


PV = constant … (i),


where P = pressure, V = volume.


This gives


P1 V1 = P2 V2 (ii),


Where


P1, V1 = initial values of pressure and volume


P2, V2 = final values of pressure and volume.


An adiabatic process is represented by


PV
