One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state A to final state B via two processes : It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume V to 3V and then its volume is reduced from 3V to V at constant pressure. The correct P-V diagram representing the two processes is

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(4) [figure]

Solution

Isothermal expansion (V → 3V): PV = constant, so the path from A is a rectangular hyperbola going downward to the right; pressure falls to one-third.

Compression at constant pressure (3V → V): the path is a horizontal straight line from 3V back to V, directed to the left, ending at B below A.

Graph (4) shows a hyperbola from A followed by a horizontal line back to B.

Answer: (4)

During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does 150 J of work against its surroundings. This implies that

  1. 150 J of heat has been removed from the gas
  2. 300 J of heat has been added to the gas
  3. no heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
  4. 150 J of heat has been added to the gas
