At 27^ C , one mole of an ideal gas is compressed isothermally and reversibly from a pressure of 2 atm to 10 atm . Choose the correct option from the following.
Options
- AChange in internal energy is positive
- BHeat is negative
- CWork done is -965.84 cal
- DAll are incorrect
Correct answer
B. Heat is negative
Step-by-step solution
Work done in isothermal reversible process is w=-2.303 n R T ₁₀ p₁ p₂ Given, aligned n & =1, R=2 cal K ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ T & =(27+273) K =300 ~K p₁ & =2 ~atm , p₂=10 ~atm aligned aligned w & =-2.303 1 2 300 ₁₀ 2 10 w & =+965.54 cal aligned For isothermal change, U=0 Now, from first law of thermodynamics, aligned & q= U-W=0-965.84 cal & q=-965.84 cal aligned
