A balloon filled with helium (32ºC and 1.7 atm.) bursts. Immediately afterwards the expansions of helium can be considered as:

a
Irreversible adiabatic
b
Irreversible isothermal
c
Reversible adiabatic
d
Reversible isothermal

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Bursting of balloon will result in rapid expansion of gas, so it is irreversible adiabatic process.

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure P1=105Pa and volume Vi=103m3  changes to final state at Pf=132×105pa&Vf=8×103m3in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that P3V5= constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system form the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at Pi followed by an isochoric (is volumetric) process at volumeVf. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
