A gas expands isothermally against a constant external pressure of 1 bar from 10 dm ^3 to 20 dm ^3 by absorbing 800 J of heat from surrounding. Calculate value of U .
Options
- A100 J
- B-200 ~J
- C200 J
- D-300 J
Correct answer
B. -200 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & P _ ext =1 bar & V ₁=10 dm ^3, ~V ₂=20 dm ^3 & Q =800 ~J & ~W =- P _ ext ( V ₂- V ₁ )=-1 bar (20 dm ^3-10 dm ^3 ) & =-10 dm ^3 bar =-1000 ~J & U = Q + W =800 ~J -1000 ~J =-200 ~J aligned
