Question
For a given ideal gas 6 × 105 J heat energy is supplied and the volume of gas is increased from 4 m3 to 6 m3 at atmospheric pressure. Calculate
- the work done by the gas
- change in internal energy of the gas
- graph this process in PV and TV diagram

Solution
Heat energy supplied to gas Q = 6 × 105 J
Change in volume ∆V = (6 – 4) = 2 m3
1 atm = 1.013 × 105 Nm−2
a. Work done by the gas W = P × ∆V
= 1.013 × 105 × 2
= 2.026 × 105
W = 202.6 kJ
b. Change in internal energy of the gas
∆U = Q − P. ∆V
= 6 × 105 − (202.6 × 103)
= 6 × 105 − 2.026 × 105
= 3.974 × 105
∆U = 397.4 kJ

An ideal gas is made to go from a state A to stale B in the given two different ways (see figure) (i) an isobaric and then an isochoric process and (ii) an isochoric and then an isobaric process. The work done by gas in the two processes are W1 and W2 respectively. Then,
In an isothermal process, the volume of an ideal gas is halved. One can say that ____________.
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.
