Question

An ideal gas in a heat engine executes the cycle shown. Where is the temperature of the gas maximum?

• A. along the line BC
• B. at point B
• C. at point C
• D. at point D
• E. along the line CD

Answer 1

The correct option is C at point C

Temperature is maximum at point C. for ideal gas, pV = NRT, so T is max, when pV is max, which corresponds to the point furthest from the origin.
