An ideal gas is taken through an isothermal process. If it does 2000 J of work on its environment, how much heat is added to it?

Numerical

Solution

Given: W = 2000 J, isothermal process

As the gas is taken through an isothermal process, the internal energy of the gas, Δ U changes nothing and remains constant.

Therefore, the heat added to it,

Q = Δ U + W

Q = 0 + W

Q = 2000 J
