JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermodynamical Processes Question Bank Isothermal Process

  • question_answer
    When an ideal gas in a cylinder was compressed isothermally by a piston, the work done on the gas was found to be  \[1.5\times {{10}^{4}}\ joules\]. During this process about [MP PMT 1987]

    A)            \[3.6\times {{10}^{3}}\] cal  of heat flowed out from the gas

    B)            \[3.6\times {{10}^{3}}\] cal of heat flowed into the gas

    C)            \[1.5\times {{10}^{4}}\] cal of heat flowed into the gas

    D)            \[1.5\times {{10}^{4}}\] cal of heat flowed out from the gas

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       In isothermal compression, there is always an increase of heat. which must flow out the gas. \[\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W\Rightarrow \Delta Q=\Delta W\ \ (\because \ \Delta U=0)\] Þ \[\Delta Q=-1.5\times {{10}^{4}}J=\frac{1.5\times {{10}^{4}}}{4.18}cal=-3.6\times {{10}^{3}}cal\]
