Q.

20.0 dm³ of an ideal gas ‘X’ at 600 K and 0.5 MPa undergoes isothermal reversible expansion until pressure of the gas is 0.2 MPa. Which of the following option is correct

(Given: log 2 = 0.3010 and log 5 = 0.6989)     [2026]

1 w=9.1J, ΔU=9.1J, ΔH=0; q=0  
2 w=9.1kJ, ΔU=0, ΔH=0, q=9.1kJ  
3 w=+4.1kJ, ΔU=0, ΔH=0; q=4.1kJ  
4 w=3.9kJ, ΔU=0, ΔH=0; q=3.9kJ  

Ans.

(2)

For isothermal reversible process ΔU=ΔH=0

wiso=-p1V1lnP1P2

wiso=-0.5×106×20×10-3ln0.50.2

wiso=-0.5×106×20×10-3×2.303×(0.6989-0.3010)

w-9.1 kJ

q=-w=9.1 kJ
