Thermodynamic processes
Question

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes four thermodynamic processes as shown schematically in the PV-diagram below. Among these four processes, one is isobaric, one is isochoric, one is isothermal and one is adiabatic. Match the processes mentioned in List-1 with the corresponding statements in List-II.

 

LIST–ILIST–II
P. In process I 1. Work done by the gas is zero
Q. In process II 2. Temperature of the gas remains unchanged
R. In process III3. No heat is exchanged between the gas and  its surroundings
S. In process IV4. Work done by the gas is  6P0V0

Moderate
Solution

Process-I is an adiabatic process
ΔQ=ΔU+W      ΔQ=0            W=ΔU     
Volume of gas is decreasing    W<0   ΔU>0
Temperature of gas increases 
No heat is exchanged between the gas and surrounding.
Process –II is an isobaric process (pressure remain constant)
W=PΔV=3P03V0V0=6P0V0 
Process-III is an isochoric process ( volume remain constant)
 ΔQ=ΔU+W         

ΔQ=ΔU  
Process-IV is an isothermal process (temperature remains constant)
ΔQ=ΔU+W 

ΔU=0
