An ideal gas expands isothermally from volume \(V_1\) to volume \(V_2\). It is then compressed to the original volume \(V_1\) adiabatically. If \(p_1, p_2\) and \(W\) represent the initial pressure, final pressure and the net work done by the gas respectively during the entire process, then

  1. A \(p_1>p_2, W=0\)
  2. B \(p_1>p_2, W>0\)
  3. C \(p_2>p_1, W>0\)
  4. D \(p_2>p_1, W < 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(p_2>p_1, W < 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Processes \(A\) to \(B\) and \(C\) to \(D\) are parts of straight line graphs of form \(y=m x\). Also, \(p=\frac{\mu R}{V} T(\mu=3)\) \(p \propto T\) So, volume remains constant for the graphs \(A B\) and \(C D\). So, no work is done during processes for \(A\) to \(B\) and \(C\)…
