Question

In the figure, a cyclic process ABCA of 3 moles of an ideal gas is given. The temperatures of the gas at B and C are 500 K and 1000 K respectively. If the work done on the gas in process CA is 2500 J, then find the net heat absorbed or released by an ideal gas. Take R=25/3J/molK

The change in internal energy during the cyclic process is zero. Hence, the heat supplied to the gas is equal to the work done by it. Hence,
ΔQ=WAB+WBC+WCA .....(i)
The work done during the process AB is zero
WBC=PB(VCVB)
=nRT(TCTB)
=(3mol)(25/3J/molK)(500K)
=12500J
As WCA=2500J(given)
ΔQ=0+125002500 [From .....(i)]
ΔQ=10kJ
