An ideal gas is expanded from ( p 1 , V 1 , T 1 ) to ( p 2 , V 2 , T 2 ) under different conditions. The correct statement(s) among the following is(are)
Options
- AThe work done on the gas is maximum when it is compressed irreversibly from ( p 2 , V 2 ) to ( p 1 , V 1 ) aga
- BIf the expansion is carried out freely, it is simultaneously both isothermal as well as adiabatic
- CThe work done on the gas is less when it is expanded reversibly from V 1 t o V 2 under adiabatic conditions as
- DThe change in internal energy of the gas (i) zero, if it is expanded reversibly with T 1 = T 2 , and (ii) posi
Correct answer
A. The work done on the gas is maximum when it is compressed irreversibly from ( p 2 , V 2 ) to ( p 1 , V 1 ) aga
Step-by-step solution
(I) (II) (III) (i) Δ U = n C v Δ T = 0 (isothermal hence Δ T = 0 ) (ii) Δ U = q + w = - v e q = 0 , w 0 (IV) q = 0 (adiabatic), w = 0 (free expansion) Δ U = 0 ⇒ Δ T = 0 (isothermal)
