An ideal gas ...

Question

An ideal gas is expanded from $p_{1}, V_{1}, T_{1}$ to $p_{2}, V_{2}, T_{2}$ under different conditions.the correct statement(s) among the following is(are)

A

The work done on the gas is maximum when it is compressed irreversibly from

(p_{2}, V_{2})

to

(p_{1}, V_{1})

against constant pressure

B

The work done on the gas is less when it is expanded reversibly from

V_{1}

to

V_{2}

under adiabatic conditions as compared to that when expanded reversibly from

V_{1}

to

V_{2}

under isothermal conditions.

C

The change in internal energy of the gas (i) zero, if it is expanded reversibly with

T_{1} = T_{2}

, and (ii) negative, if it is expanded reversibly under adiabatic conditions with

T_{1} \neq T_{2}

D

If the expansion is carried out freely, it is simultaneosly both isothermal as well as adiabatic

Solution

The correct option is D If the expansion is carried out freely, it is simultaneosly both isothermal as well as adiabatic
(A)(B)(C) (i) $Δ U = n C_{v} Δ T = 0$ (isothermal hence $Δ T = 0$ )
(ii) $Δ U = q + w = - v e (q = 0, w < 0)$
$Δ U = n C_{v} Δ T \Rightarrow Δ T < 0$
(D) $q = 0$ (adibatic), $w = 0$ (free expansion)
$Δ U = 0 \Rightarrow Δ T = 0$ (isothermal)
