Question

Starting with the same initial conditions, one mole of an ideal monoatomic gas expands reversibly from volume V1 to V2 in two different ways. The work done by gas is w1, if the process is purely isothermal, w2 if purely isobaric and w3 if purely adiabatic, then:

A
w2>w1>w3

Solution

The correct option is A w2>w1>w3
W =PdV
It is the area under p-V diagram

From the above image, we can say that the area under the P-V curve is in the increasing order: adiabatic, isothermal and isobaric

Hence, w2>w1>w3
