One mole of an ideal gas as taken from state A to state B by three different processes ( a ) ACB , ( b ) ADB and ( c ) AEB as shown in the P - V diagram. The heat absorbed by the gas is
Options
- AGreater in process (b) than in (a)
- BThe least in process (b)
- CThe same in (a) and (c)
- DLess in (c) than in (b)
Correct answer
D. Less in (c) than in (b)
Step-by-step solution
Heat absorbed by gas in three processes is given by Q ACB = Δ U + W ACB Q ADB = Δ U Q AEB = Δ U + W AEB The change in internal energy in all the three cases is the same and W ACB is positive, W AEB is negative. Hence Q ACB > Q ADB > Q AEB
