Thermodynamics - Result Question 4

4. An ideal gas goes from state A to state B via three different processes as indicated in the PV diagram:

[2012M]

If Q1,Q2,Q3 indicate the heat a absorbed by the gas along the three processes and ΔU1,ΔU2, ΔU3 indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then

(a) Q1>Q2>Q3 and ΔU1=ΔU2=ΔU3

(b) Q3>Q2>Q1 and ΔU1=ΔU2=ΔU3

(c) Q1=Q2=Q3 and ΔU1>ΔU2>ΔU3

(d) Q3>Q2>Q1 and ΔU1>ΔU2>ΔU3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Initial and final condition is same for all process

ΔU1=ΔU2=ΔU3

from first law of thermodynamics

ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW

Work done

ΔW1>ΔW2>ΔW3 (Area of P.V. graph)

So ΔQ1>ΔQ2>ΔQ3
