Multiple Choice Options

  • A 500R(ln⁡3+ln⁡4)500 \mathrm{R}(\ln 3+\ln 4)
  • B 450R(ln⁡4−ln⁡3)450 \mathrm{R}(\ln 4-\ln 3)
  • C 500Rln⁡2500 \mathrm{R} \ln 2
  • D 400Rln⁡4400 \mathrm{R} \ln 4

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

As A to B is can adiabatic path,

So, ΔQA→B=o\Delta {Q_{A \to B}} = o .... (1)

So, now we need to find the heat absorbed for the isothermal path (B to C)

We know, change in internal energy

Δu=mcvΔT\Delta u = m{c_v}\Delta T

⇒Δu=o\Rightarrow \Delta u = o (for isothermal as ΔT=o\Delta T = o )

Now, using Ist law of thermodynamics

ΔQ=Δu+w\Delta Q = \Delta u + w

⇒ΔQ=o+w⇒ΔQ=w\Rightarrow \Delta Q = o + w \Rightarrow \Delta Q = w

So, ΔQB→C=WB→C\Delta {Q_{B \to C}} = {W_{B \to C}}

=nRTln⁡(vCvB)= nRT\ln \left( {{{{v_C}} \over {{v_B}}}} \right)

⇒ΔQB→C=nR(450)ln⁡(43)\Rightarrow \Delta {Q_{B \to C}} = nR(450)\ln \left( {{4 \over 3}} \right)

⇒ΔQB→C=450nRln⁡(43)\Rightarrow \Delta {Q_{B \to C}} = 450nR\ln \left( {{4 \over 3}} \right) .... (2)

So net heat absorbed,

Q=ΔQA→B+ΔQB→CQ = \Delta {Q_{A \to B}} + \Delta {Q_{B \to C}}

⇒Q=450nRln⁡(43)\Rightarrow Q = 450nR\ln \left( {{4 \over 3}} \right) ... (from 1 and 2)

Net heat absorbed per mole,

⇒Qn=450R(ln⁡4−ln⁡3)\Rightarrow {Q \over n} = 450R(\ln 4 - \ln 3) .

Option 2 is correct.
