Question

Which one of the following phenomenon occurs when gas in a piston cylinder assembly expands reversibly at constant pressure?

A.

Heat is added to the gas

B.

Heat is removed from the gas

C.

Gas does work from its own stored energy

D.

Gas undergoes adiabatic expansion

Answer ( Option A)

Heat is added to the gas

Solution

               

The atmospheric/ ambient pressure ’Patm’ is acting on the piston. If the cylinder is placed in contact with as hot body (having temperature infinitesimally more than temperature of gas), energy flows into the system and the gas expands. This is the system which undergoes reversible isobaric process. Therefore, here heat is added to the gas.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
