Question

One mole of an ideal gas having initial volume V, pressure 2p and temperature T undergoes a cyclic process ABCDA as shown below.

The net work done in the complete cycle is

  1. Zero    
  2. fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction R T I n blank 2    
  3. RT In 2    
  4. fraction numerator 3 over denominator 2 end fraction R T I n blank 2    

The correct answer is: RT In 2


    Work done increment W equals p increment V
    At constant pressure
    increment W equals p open parentheses V subscript f end subscript minus V subscript i end subscript close parentheses equals n R left parenthesis T subscript f end subscript minus T subscript i end subscript right parenthesis
    At constant temperature
    increment W equals n R T I n open parentheses fraction numerator V subscript f end subscript over denominator V subscript i end subscript end fraction close parentheses equals n R T I n open parentheses fraction numerator P subscript i end subscript over denominator P subscript f end subscript end fraction close parentheses
    therefore blank increment W subscript A B end subscript equals 1 cross times R cross times open parentheses 2 T minus T close parentheses equals R T
    increment W subscript B C end subscript equals 1 cross times R cross times 2 T I n fraction numerator 2 p over denominator P end fraction equals 2 R T I n blank 2
    increment W subscript C D end subscript equals 1 cross times R cross times open parentheses T minus 2 T close parentheses equals negative R T
    increment W subscript D A end subscript equals 1 cross times R cross times T I n open parentheses fraction numerator p over denominator 2 p end fraction close parentheses equals R T I n blank left parenthesis fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction right parenthesis
    Net work done in the complete cycle is
    increment W equals increment W subscript A B end subscript plus increment W subscript B C end subscript plus increment W subscript C D end subscript plus increment W subscript D A end subscript
    equals R T plus 2 R T I n blank 2 minus R T plus R T I n open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses
    equals 2 R T I n blank 2 plus R T I n blank 1 minus R T I n blank 2
    equals 2 R T I n blank 2 minus R T I n blank 2
    equals R T I n blank 2
