Q.

If 5 moles of an ideal gas expands from 10 L to a volume of 100 L at 300 K under isothermal and reversible condition then work, w, is -x J. The value of x is _________ .

(Given R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1)                 [2024]


Ans.

(28721)

For isothermal reversible process, work W is given by:         

     W=-2.303 nRT log V2V1

          =-2.303×5 mol×8.314Jmol K×300 K log 10010

          =-28720.713 J-28721J
