JEE Advanced2020ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
In thermodynamics, the P - V work done is given by w = - ∫ dVP ext . For a system undergoing a particular process, the work done is, w = - ∫ dV RT V - b - a V 2 . This equation is applicable to a
Options
- Asystem that satisfies the van der Waals equation of state.
- Bprocess that is reversible and isothermal.
- Cprocess that is reversible and adiabatic.
- Dprocess that is irreversible and at constant pressure.
Correct answer
A. system that satisfies the van der Waals equation of state.
Step-by-step solution
(W=- P_ ext d v ) From van der waal equation of state for one mole gas (p+ a v² (v-b)= RT ) (p= RT (v-b) - a v² ) For reversible process (p_ ext =p_ gas ) (W=- RT (v-b) - a v² ) process is only not applicable for irreversible process.
