If 1.5 ~L of an ideal gas at a pressure of 20 ~atm expands isothermally and reversibly to a final volume of 15 ~L , the work done by the gas in L atm is
Options
- A69.09
- B34.55
- C− 34.55
- D−69.09
Correct answer
D. −69.09
Step-by-step solution
Given, aligned & p₁=20 ~atm & V₁=1.5 ~L & V₂=15 ~L aligned At constant temperature, aligned p₁ V₁ & =p₂ V₂=n R T W & =-n R T in ( V₂ V₁ ) & =-2.303 20 1.5 ( 15 1.5 ) & =-69.09 ~L ~atm aligned
