As shown in the figure, a system undergoes the process abcabc, absorbing 80 J80 \text{ J} of heat while performing 30 J30 \text{ J} of work. If the system performs 10 J10 \text{ J} of work during the process adcadc, calculate the amount of heat that flows into it during this process.
As shown in the figure, a system undergoes the process abc , absorbing 80 J of heat while performing 30 J of work. If

Options

  1. A100 J100 \text{ J}
  2. B60 J60 \text{ J}
  3. C40 J40 \text{ J}
  4. D120 J120 \text{ J}

Correct answer

B. 60 J60 \text{ J}

Step-by-step solution

According to the first law of thermodynamics:
ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W

For the process abcabc, the heat absorbed is Qabc=80 JQ_{abc} = 80 \text{ J} and the work done is Wabc=30 JW_{abc} = 30 \text{ J}.
The change in internal energy is:
ΔU=Qabc−Wabc\Delta U = Q_{abc} - W_{abc}
ΔU=80−30=50 J\Delta U = 80 - 30 = 50 \text{ J}

Since internal energy is a state function, the change in internal energy ΔU\Delta U depends only on the initial and final states. Thus, ΔU\Delta U is the same for both paths abcabc and adcadc.

For the process adcadc, the work done is Wadc=10 JW_{adc} = 10 \text{ J}.
The heat absorbed during this process is:
Qadc=ΔU+WadcQ_{adc} = \Delta U + W_{adc}
Qadc=50+10=60 JQ_{adc} = 50 + 10 = 60 \text{ J}
