Chemical Thermodynamics Question 366

Question: A gas undergoes change from state A to state B. In this process, the heat absorbed and work done by the gas is 5 J and 8 J, respectively. Now gas is brought back to A by another process during which 3 J of heat is evolved. In this reverse process of B to A:

Options:

A) $ 10J $ of the work will be done by the gas.

B) $ 6J $ of the work will be done by the gas.

C) $ 10J $ of the work will be done by the surrounding on gas.

D) $ 6J $ of the work will be done by the surrounding on gas.

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ \Delta U_{AB}=q+w=+5+(-8)=-3 $

$ q=-3,\Delta U_{BA}=+3 $

$ \Delta U_{BA}=q+w $

$ \Rightarrow 3=-3+w\Rightarrow w=+6J $ (work done on the system).
