Two processes AA and BB on a system are illustrated in the figure. Let ΔQ1\Delta Q_1 and ΔQ2\Delta Q_2 denote the heat given to the system during processes AA and BB, respectively. Then
Two processes A and B on a system are illustrated in the figure. Let Δ Q_1 and Δ Q_2 denote the heat given to the

Options

  1. AΔQ1>ΔQ2\Delta Q_1 > \Delta Q_2
  2. BΔQ1<ΔQ2\Delta Q_1 < \Delta Q_2
  3. CΔQ1=ΔQ2\Delta Q_1 = \Delta Q_2
  4. DΔQ1≤ΔQ2\Delta Q_1 \leq \Delta Q_2

Correct answer

A. ΔQ1>ΔQ2\Delta Q_1 > \Delta Q_2

Step-by-step solution

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

Since both processes AA and BB start from the same initial state and end at the same final state, the change in internal energy ΔU\Delta U is the same for both processes.

The work done ΔW\Delta W by the system is equal to the area under the p−Vp-V curve. From the given graph, the area under the curve for process AA is greater than the area under the curve for process BB. Thus, ΔWA>ΔWB\Delta W_A > \Delta W_B.

Therefore, the heat given to the system during process AA is greater than that during process BB, i.e., ΔQ1>ΔQ2\Delta Q_1 > \Delta Q_2.
