Question

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas is taken along two cyclic processes E → F → G → H and E → F → H → E as shown in the PV diagram. The processes involved are purely isochoric, isobaric, isothermal or adiabatic.

Match the paths in List I with the magnitudes of the work done in List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.

Solution

FG isotherm  160P0V0 ln

32 P0 V05/3 = P0 V5/3 

VH = 8V0

P0VG = 32P0 × V0

VG = 32 V0

WGE = P0 × 31 V0

WF – G = 32P0V0 ln (32V0V0)  = 160P0V0 ln 2
