As shown in the figure, a system undergoes the process , absorbing of heat while performing of work. If the system performs of work during the process , calculate the amount of heat that flows into it during this process.


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
According to the first law of thermodynamics:
For the process , the heat absorbed is and the work done is .
The change in internal energy is:
Since internal energy is a state function, the change in internal energy depends only on the initial and final states. Thus, is the same for both paths and .
For the process , the work done is .
The heat absorbed during this process is:
