2 moles of an ideal gas expands isothermally from 5 dm ^3 to 10 dm ^3 at a constant external pressure of 1.5 bar. Calculate work done.
Options
- A7.5 dm ^3 bar
- B-7.5 dm ^3 bar
- C22.5 dm ^3 bar
- D-22.5 dm ^3 bar
Correct answer
B. -7.5 dm ^3 bar
Step-by-step solution
aligned & V _ l =5 dm ^3, ~V ₂=10 dm ^3, P _ ext =1.5 bar & W =- P _ ext ( V ₂- V ₁ )=-1.5(10-5)=-7.5 dm ^3 bar aligned
