Questions  

When an ideal gas in a cylinder was compressed isothermally by a piston, the work done on the gas was found to be 1.5×104joules. During this process about

a
3.6×103cal of heat flowed out from the gas
b
3.6×103cal of heat flowed into the gas
c
1.5×104cal of heat flowed into the gas
d
1.5×104cal of heat flowed out from the gas

detailed solution

Correct option is A

In isothermal compression, there is always an increase of heat. which must flow out the gas.ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW⇒ΔQ=ΔW (∵ΔU=0)⇒ΔQ=−1.5×104J=1.5×104418cal=−3.6×103cal
