Match the LIST-I with LIST-II Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
  2. A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
  3. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
  4. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

Answer

(3) A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

Solution

For an isothermal process of an ideal gas, w = - pex dV. Here Vf is the larger and Vi the smaller volume.

A. Reversible expansion (pex = p = nRTV at every stage):

w = - ViVf nRTV dV = -nRT ( VfVi ) A-II

B. Free expansion (expansion against vacuum, pex = 0) w = 0 B-I

C. Irreversible expansion against constant pex from Vi to Vf:

w = -pex(Vf - Vi) (negative, work done by the gas) C-III

D. Irreversible compression against constant pex from the larger volume Vf to the smaller volume Vi:

w = -pex(Vi - Vf) (positive, work done on the gas) D-IV

A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
