One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process ABC as shown in figure. The process BC is adiabatic. The temperature at A,B and C are 400K, 800K and 600K respectively. Choose the correct statement:

Options

A. The change in internal energy in whole cyclic process is 250R.
B. The change in internal process CA is 700R.
C. The change in internal energy in the process AB is -350R.
D. The chang in internal energy in the process BC is -500R.

Answer

D

Explanation

(d) In cyclic process, change in total internal energy is
zero.
`DeltaU_(cyclic)=0`
`DeltaU_(BC)=nC_vDeltaT=1xx(5R)/2DeltaT`
Where, `C_V` =molar specific heat at constant volume.
For BC, `DeltaT=-200K`
`:. DeltaU_(BC)=-500R`
