Q.

The pressure and volume of an ideal gas are related as PV3/2=K (Constant). The work done when the gas is taken from state A(P1,V1,T1) to state B(P2,V2,T2) is                 [2024]

1 2(P1V1-P2V2)  
2 2(P2V2-P1V1)  
3 2(P1V1-P2V2)  
4 2(P2V2-P1V1)  

Ans.

(1)   

         For PVx= constant

         W=nRT1-x

          Here x=32

                W=P2V2-P1V1-12

          =2(P1V1-P2V2)
