One mole of an ideal diatomic gas undergoes a transition from A to B along a path A B as shown in the figure,

The change in internal energy of the gas during the transition is

a
20 J
b
-12 kJ
c
20 kJ
d
- 20 kJ

detailed solution

Correct option is D

We know, ΔU=nCvΔT=n5R2TB-TA   for diatomic gas, Cv=5R2=5nR2PBVBnR-PAVAnR  [∵PV=nRT]=52PBVB-PAVA=522×103×6-5×103×4=52-8×103=-20 kJ
