Q.

A perfect gas (0.1 mol) having Cv = 1.50R (independent of temperature) undergoes the above transformation from point 1 to point 4. If each step is reversible, the total work done (w) while going from point 1 to point 4 is (–) ___ J (nearest integer).  

[Given : R = 0.082 L atm K-1mol-1]                                                        [2025]

12 and 34 are isochoric processes. For isochoric processes W(PΔV)=0

W23=-P(V3-V2)

=-3atm(2L-1L)

=-3atm L=-3×101.3J=-303.9J

W14=W12+W23+W34

=0-303.9J+0=-303.9J=-304J
