During the adiabatic expansion of 2 moles of a gas, the internal energy was found to have decreased by 100 J. The work done by the gas in this process is

a
Zero
b
–100 J
c
200 J
d
100 J

detailed solution

Correct option is D

For adiabatic process from FLOT ΔW=−ΔU       (∵ΔQ=0)⇒ΔW=−(−100)=+100J

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
