11.Thermodynamics
medium

A gas is compressed from a volume of $2\,m^3$ to a volume of $1\, m^3$ at a constant pressure of $100\, N/m^2$. Then it is heated at constant volume by supplying $150\, J$ of energy. As a result, the internal energy of the gas

A

increases by $250\, J$

B

decreases by $250\, J$

C

increases by $50\, J$

D

decreases by $50\, J$

Solution

As we know, $\Delta Q=\Delta u+\Delta w$

(Ist law of thermodynamics) $\Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{Q}=\Delta \mathrm{u}+\mathrm{P} \Delta \mathrm{v}$

or $150=\Delta u+100(1-2)$

$=\Delta u-100$

$\therefore \Delta u=150+100=250 \mathrm{J}$

Thus the internal energy of the gas increases by $250 \mathrm{J}$
