Thermodynamics Question 336
Question: An ideal gas can be expanded from an initial state to a certain volume through two different processes (i) $ PV^{2}= $ constant and (ii) $ P=KV^{2} $ where K is a positive constant. Then
Options:
A) Final temperature in (i) will be greater then in (ii)
B) Final temperature in (ii) will be equal to (i)
C) Total heat given to the gas in (i) case is greater than in (ii)
D) Total heat given to the gas in (ii) case is greater than in (i)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] From equation $ PV=nRT $
$ P _{C}<P _{B},V _{C}=V _{B} $ and $ T _{C}-T _{A} $
$ W _{AB}>W _{AC} $
$ (T _{B}-T _{A})>T _{C}-T _{A} $
So by 1st law
$ Q=\Delta U+W $
$ Q=\frac{1}{2}nRT\Delta T+W $
$ Q _{AB}>Q _{AC} $
