When the temperature of 2 moles of an ideal gas is increased by 20 ° C at constant pressure, find the work involved in the process.
Options
- A5 R
- B40 R
- C15 R
- D20 R
Correct answer
B. 40 R
Step-by-step solution
We know that for ideal gas PV = nRT Now taking small changes ∆ ( PV ) = nR ∆ T as pressure remains constant. So P ∆ V = nR ∆ T Work done in increasing the kinetic energy of gas is given by W = P ∆ V From the above expression, work can be modified as W = nRΔT W = 2 × R × 20 W = 40   R
