Two moles of an ideal gas undergo a cyclic process represented on a Pressure-Temperature () diagram. The cycle forms a right-angled triangle with vertices at , , and . The work done by the gas during the isobaric segment of the cycle is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The isobaric (constant pressure) segment of the cycle is the process , where the pressure remains constant at .
During this process, the temperature increases from to .
The work done by an ideal gas during an isobaric process is given by:
Given moles, the change in temperature is .
Substituting the values:
Calculating the area of the triangle on the graph () does not give the work done, and using gives the incorrect value of .
