Two moles of an ideal gas undergo a cyclic process A arrow B arrow...

Two moles of an ideal gas undergo a cyclic process A→B→C→AA \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow A represented on a Pressure-Temperature (P−TP-T) diagram. The cycle forms a right-angled triangle with vertices at A(300 K,1 atm)A(300 \text{ K}, 1 \text{ atm}), B(600 K,1 atm)B(600 \text{ K}, 1 \text{ atm}), and C(300 K,0.5 atm)C(300 \text{ K}, 0.5 \text{ atm}). The work done by the gas during the isobaric segment of the cycle is:

Options

  1. A300R300 R
  2. B600R600 R
  3. C900R900 R
  4. D75R75 R

Correct answer

B. 600R600 R

Step-by-step solution

The isobaric (constant pressure) segment of the cycle is the process A→BA \rightarrow B, where the pressure remains constant at 1 atm1 \text{ atm}.

During this process, the temperature increases from TA=300 KT_A = 300 \text{ K} to TB=600 KT_B = 600 \text{ K}.

The work done by an ideal gas during an isobaric process is given by:
W=PΔV=nRΔTW = P\Delta V = nR\Delta T

Given n=2n = 2 moles, the change in temperature is ΔT=600 K−300 K=300 K\Delta T = 600 \text{ K} - 300 \text{ K} = 300 \text{ K}.

Substituting the values:
W=2×R×300=600RW = 2 \times R \times 300 = 600 R

Calculating the area of the triangle on the P−TP-T graph (7575) does not give the work done, and using n=1n=1 gives the incorrect value of 300R300 R.

Answer: 600R600 R
