Discussion
Which work is done when a parcel expands at constant pressure?
Answer: C
The work done per unit mass is the pressure times the increase in specific volume, which is the area beneath the process on a pressure volume diagram. At constant pressure that area is a simple rectangle. Not all the supplied heat becomes work, since some raises the internal energy, which is exactly why the two specific heats differ.
