My Notes
A given mass of gas expands from state \(A\) to state \(B\) by three paths \(1, 2~\text{and}~3\), as shown in the figure. If \(W_1, W_2~\text{and}~W_3\) respectively be the work done by the gas along the three paths, then:
| 1. | \(W_1 >W_2>W_3\) | 2. | \(W_1<W_2<W_3\) |
| 3. | \(W_1 =W_2=W_3\) | 4. | \(W_1 <W_2=W_3\) |
If is the work done in compressing an ideal gas from a given initial state through a certain volume isothermally and is the work done in compressing the same gas from the same initial state through the same volume adiabatically, then:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then:
| 1. | compressing the gas through an adiabatic process will require more work to be done. |
| 2. | compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work to be done. |
| 3. | which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through the adiabatic process) requires more work to be done will depend upon the atomicity of the gas. |
| 4. | compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done. |
An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes.
Which of the following processes results in the maximum work being done on the gas?
1. Adiabatic
2. Isobaric
3. Isochoric
4. Isothermal
A gas is taken through the cycle A→B→C→A, as shown. What is the net work done by the gas?
(1)2000J
(2)1000J
(3)Zero
(4)-2000J
