NEET2011PhysicsThermodynamicsActual
During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does 150 ~J of work against its surroundings. This implies that
Options
- A300 ~J of heat has been added to the gas
- Bno heat is transferred because the process is is othermal
- C150 ~J of heat has been added to the gas
- D150 ~J of heat has been removed from the gas
Correct answer
C. 150 ~J of heat has been added to the gas
Step-by-step solution
By first law of thermodynamics - aligned dQ & = dV + dW dV & =0 for isothermal process dQ & = dW & =+150 aligned 150 ~J of heat has been added to the system. So, the correct answer is ' 150 ~J of heat has been added to the gas'.
