An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?
Isobaric
Isochoric
Isothermal
Adiabatic
Get Answer
A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then :
Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.
Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process)
requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
negative of area with volume-axis W(adiabatic) (isothermal)

A sample of of water at and normal pressure requires of heat energy to convert to steam at . If the volume of the steam produced is , the change in internal energy of the sample, is
Using first law of thermodynamics equation,
change from state to state , is
Gas is monatomic, so
Given process is isobaric
Required ratio
In which of the following processes, heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system?
isothermal
isobaric
adiabatic
isochoric
In adiabatic process, there is no exchange of heat, with the surroundings.
Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stop cock. A contains an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stop cock is suddenly opened. The process is:
Entire system is thermally insulated. So, no heat exchange with surrounding will take place. Hence, process will be adiabatic.

Curve 1 and curve 4 are isochoric and isobaric, whereas, slope of curve 3 is less than slope of curve 2 . So curve 2 should be adiabatic and curve 3 should be isothermal because (slope) isothermal < (slope) adiabatic.
