KCET2022ChemistryThermodynamics (C)
The work done when 2 moles of an ideal gas expands reversibly and isothermally from a volume of 1 ~L to 10 ~L at 300 ~K is (R=0.0083 ~kJ ~K ~mol =1)
Options
- A5.8 ~kJ
- B0.115 ~kJ
- C58.5 ~kJ
- D11.5 ~kJ
Correct answer
D. 11.5 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
Given, initial volume V₁=1 ~L Final volume, V₂=2 ~L Temperature =300 ~K R=0.0083 ~kJ ~K ~mol ⁻¹ Moles (n)=2 moles We know that, Work done, W=2.303 n R T V₂ V₁ =2.303 2 0.0083 300 10=11.5 ~kJ
