Figure below shows two paths that may be taken by a gas to go from a state $A$ to a state $C.$ In process $AB,$ $400 \,J$ of heat is added to the system and in process $BC,$ $100\, J$ of heat is added to the system. The heat absorbed by the system in the process $AC$ will be ...... $J$

As initial and final points are same so

$\Delta {U_{ABC}} = \Delta {U_{AC}}$

$AB$ is isochoric process.

$\Delta {W_{AB}} = 0$

$\Delta {Q_{AB}} = \Delta {U_{AB}} = 400\,J$

$BC$ is isobaric process.

$\Delta {Q_{BC}} = \Delta {U_{BC}} + \Delta {W_{BC}}$

$100 = \Delta {U_{BC}} + 6 \times {10^4}\left( {4 \times {{10}^{ - 3}} - 2 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \right)$

$100 = \Delta {U_{BC}} + 12 \times 10$

$\Delta {U_{BC}} = 100 - 120 =  - 20\,J$

$As,\,\Delta {U_{ABC}} = \Delta {U_{AC}}$

$\Delta {U_{AB}} + \Delta {U_{BC}} = \Delta {Q_{AC}} - \Delta {W_{AC}}$

$400 - 20 = \Delta {Q_{AC}} - (2 \times {10^4} \times 2 \times {10^{ - 3}} + \frac{1}{2} \times $

                                                                         $2 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 4 \times {10^4})$

$\Delta {Q_{AC}} = 460J$

    An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P$ $V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2 . W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.
