During an isothermal expansion, a confined ideal gas does of work against its surroundings. This implies that:
150 J heat has been removed from the gas
300 J of heat has been added to the gas
No heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
Using
First law in Isothermal Process -
- wherein
Isothermal process
Heat supplied is equal to work done.
Negative work done by gas implies work is done on the system.
For isothermal process,
Hence, heat is given to the system.
Option 1)
150 J heat has been removed from the gas
This option is incorrect
Option 2)
300 J of heat has been added to the gas
This option is incorrect
Option 3)
No heat is transferred because the process is isothermal
This option is incorrect
Option 4)
150 J of heat has been added to the gas
This option is correct
