As illustrated in the figure, a substance undergoes the process . Determine the value of if of heat is supplied to the system and the internal energy of the substance increases by .


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
From the given P-V diagram, the process consists of an isobaric process and an isochoric process .
The work done during the isobaric process is:
The work done during the isochoric process is zero since the volume is constant:
Total work done by the system is:
According to the first law of thermodynamics, the total heat supplied in Joules is:
Given that the heat supplied is , the mechanical equivalent of heat is:
The work done during the isobaric process is:
