3 moles of an ideal monoatomic gas performs ABCDAA B C D A cyclic process as shown in figure below. The gas temperatures are TA=400 KT_A=400 \mathrm{~K}, TB=800 K,TC=2400 KT_B=800 \mathrm{~K}, T_C=2400 \mathrm{~K} and TD=1200 KT_D=1200 \mathrm{~K}. The work done by the gas is (approximately) (R=8.314 J/molK)(R=8.314 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K}) 3 moles of an ideal monoatomic gas performs A B C D A cyclic process as shown in figure below. The gas temperatures are

  3. C40 kJ40 \mathrm{~kJ}
  4. D100 kJ100 \mathrm{~kJ}

Correct answer

B. 20 kJ20 \mathrm{~kJ}

Step-by-step solution

3 moles of an ideal monoatomic gas performs A B C D A cyclic process as shown in figure below. The gas temperatures are
Processes AA to BB and CC to DD are parts of straight line graphs of form y=mxy=m x. Also, p=μRVT(μ=3)p=\frac{\mu R}{V} T(\mu=3) p∝Tp \propto T So, volume remains constant for the graphs ABA B and CDC D. So, no work is done during processes for AA to BB and CC to DD. WAB=WCD=0W_{A B}=W_{C D}=0 and WBC=p2(VC−VB)\quad W_{B C}=p_2\left(V_C-V_B\right)=\mu R\left(T_C-T_B\right)=3R(2400−800)=3 R(2400-800) =3R×1600=3 R \times 1600 =4800R=4800 R WDA=p1(VA−VD)W_{D A}=p_1\left(V_A-V_D\right)=\mu R\left(T_A-T_D\right)=3R(400−1200)=3 R(400-1200) =−2400R=-2400 R Work done in complete cycle W=WAB+WBC+WCD+WDAW=W_{A B}+W_{B C}+W_{C D}+W_{D A} =0+4800R+0+(−2400)R=0+4800 R+0+(-2400) R =2400R=2400 R =19.944 J=20 kJ=19.944 \mathrm{~J}=20 \mathrm{~kJ}
