Gas equation for adiabatic process
During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does - 150 J of work against its surroundings. This implies that
300 J of heat has been added to the gas
no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
C.
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
From the first law of thermodynamics
ΔU = Q + W
For isothermal process, ΔU = 0
therefore, Q = - W
Given W = - 150
Therefore, Q = + 150
When Q is positive, the heat is added to the gas.
4.0 g of a gas occupies 22.4 L at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is 5.0 JK-1 mol-1. If the speed of sound in this gas at NTP is 952 ms-1, then the heat capacity at constant pressure is.
(Take gas constant R = 8.3 Jk-1 mol-1)

Change in entropy
An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several process. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?
Adiabatic
Isobaric
Isochoric
Isochoric
A.
Adiabatic
Given, ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume i.e.,
Vo = V/2
The isochoric process is one in which volume is kept constant, meaning that work done by the system will be zero ie.e Wisochoric = 0
As we know, work done on the gas = Area under curve i.e,
Wadiabatic > Wisothrmal > Wisochoric
