Question

A cyclic process on an ideal gas is shown in the pV diagram. The gas is brought back to its initial state after 1 cycle. If the process is carried out in a clockwise manner (as the arrows on the diagram indicate), the change in energy after 1 cycle is: A thermally isolated system is prepared with a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper that are brought into contact. The specific heat of copper is less than half that of aluminum. Which object experiences the greater magnitude of heat gain or loss during the time it takes the system to reach thermal equilibrium?

Explanation / Answer

3)   The change in energy for a closed cycle is zero. (option b)

4) Neither; both experience the same size gain or loss of heat.as system is thermally isolated. (Option c)
