Question
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?
Advertisements
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

Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.
Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
