From the Ideal Gas Law:
PV = nRT$PV = nRT$
According to the First Law of Thermodynamics:
Δ Q = Δ U + W$$\Delta Q = \Delta U + W$$
Core Logic
The question states that pressure increases linearly with temperature, which means their ratio is constant :
P = kT (P)/(T) = constant$$P = kT \implies \frac{P}{T} = \text{constant}$$
Since (P)/(T) = (nR)/(V)$\frac{P}{T} = \frac{nR}{V}$, the volume V$V$ must remain constant throughout the process. This identifies it as an isochoric process (Statement E is true).
Step 1: Evaluate All Statements
- Statement A: True. In an isochoric process, dV = 0 W = ∫ P dV = 0$dV = 0 \implies W = \int P dV = 0$.
- Statement B: False. Since work is zero, the First Law simplifies to Δ Q = Δ U$\Delta Q = \Delta U$, meaning heat added equals the change in internal energy.
- Statement C: False. Volume is constant, so it does not increase.
- Statement D: True. As pressure increases linearly with temperature, temperature increases, which causes the internal energy of the gas to increase.
Step 2: Final Selection
Gathering the true statements (A, D, and E) points directly to Option (2).
Pattern Recognition
A linear P-T$P-T$ line passing through the origin always indicates a constant volume graph. For constant volume graphs, work done is zero, which simplifies the first law calculation.
