MCQ 511 Mark
Carbon monoxide is carried around a closed cycle $a b c$ in which $b c$ is an isothermal process as shown in the figure. The gas absorbs 7000 $J$ of heat as its temperature increases from $300 K$ to $1000 K$ in going from $a$ to $b$. The quantity of heat rejected by the gas during the process $c a$ is


- A$4200 \mathrm{~J}$
- B$5000 \mathrm{~J}$
- C$9000 \mathrm{~J}$
- ✓$9800 \mathrm{~J}$

$9800 \mathrm{~J}$
(d) For path $a b:(\Delta U)_{a b}=7000 \mathrm{~J}$
By using $\Delta U=\mu C_V \Delta T 7000=\mu \times \frac{5}{2} R \times 700 \Rightarrow \mu=0.48$
For path $c a$
$(\Delta Q)_{c a}=(\Delta U)_{c a}+(\Delta W)_{c a} $
$\because(\Delta U)_{a b}+(\Delta U)_{b c}+(\Delta U)_{c a}=0 $
$\therefore 7000+0(\Delta U)_{ca}=0\Rightarrow(\Delta U)_{c a}=-7000 \mathrm{~J}$
Also $((\Delta W)_{ca}=P_1\left(V_1-V_2\right)=\mu R\left(T_1-T_2\right)$ $=0.48\times8.31\times(300-1000)=-2792.16\mathrm{~J}$
on solving equations (i), (ii) and (iii)
$(\Delta Q)_{c a}=-7000-2792.16=-9792.16 \mathrm{~J}=-9800 \mathrm{~J}$
