A matching table with LIST-I and LIST-II for thermodynamic process descriptions and corresponding process names to be matched.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A

  • B

    A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV

  • C

    A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

  • D

    A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Answer

Correct answer:D

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: A matching problem on thermodynamic processes.

Find: The correct correspondence between the statements in List-I and the processes in List-II.

From the extracted solution table:

  • A. Pressure varies inversely with volume of an ideal gas \rightarrow III. Isothermal process
  • B. Heat absorbed goes partly to increase internal energy and partly to do work \rightarrow IV. Isobaric process
  • C. Heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system \rightarrow I. Adiabatic process
  • D. No work is done on or by a gas \rightarrow II. Isochoric process

Use the basic thermodynamic definitions:

  1. In an isothermal process, temperature remains constant, so for an ideal gas,
PV=constantPV = \text{constant}

Hence pressure varies inversely with volume. Therefore A \rightarrow III.

  1. In an isobaric process, pressure remains constant and the heat supplied is used partly to increase internal energy and partly to do work. Therefore B \rightarrow IV.

  2. In an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, so

Q=0Q = 0

Therefore C \rightarrow I.

  1. In an isochoric process, volume remains constant, so work done is
W=PdV=0W = \int P \, dV = 0

Therefore D \rightarrow II.

Thus the correct matching is:

  • A \rightarrow III
  • B \rightarrow IV
  • C \rightarrow I
  • D \rightarrow II

the solution explicitly states The Correct Option is D. However, this mapping does not match any option verbatim. Among the given options, Option D is marked correct on the solution, so the answer is taken as D with this discrepancy noted.

Concept-wise Matching

Given: Descriptions of four thermodynamic situations.

Find: Which process name matches each description.

  • If pressure varies inversely with volume for an ideal gas, Boyle's law applies at constant temperature, so the process is isothermal.
  • If absorbed heat is split between increasing internal energy and doing work, the process is isobaric.
  • If no heat is absorbed or released, the process is adiabatic.
  • If no work is done, then volume does not change, so the process is isochoric because
W=PdV=0W = \int P \, dV = 0

when dV=0dV = 0.

So the matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.

The source solution still declares Option D as correct, and by the answer-resolution rule the solution is treated. Therefore, the recorded answer is D, while the textual matching from the same solution indicates a mismatch with the listed options.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing adiabatic with isothermal. In an adiabatic process, no heat exchange occurs, whereas in an isothermal process the temperature remains constant. Use the defining condition first: Q=0Q=0 means adiabatic.

  • Assuming no work done means no heat exchange. That is incorrect. No work done on or by a gas usually indicates constant volume, so dV=0dV=0 and therefore W=PdV=0W=\int P \, dV=0. This identifies an isochoric process, not necessarily an adiabatic one.

  • Matching inverse PP-VV relation with an isobaric process. In an isobaric process pressure is constant, so it cannot vary inversely with volume. The relation PV=constantPV=\text{constant} corresponds to an isothermal process for an ideal gas.
