10 g each of NH ₃, ~N ₂, Cl ₂ and H ₂ ~S are expanded isothermally and reversibly at same temperature. Identify gas that performs maximum work.
Options
- AN ₂
- BCl ₂
- CH ₂ ~S
- DNH ₃
Correct answer
D. NH ₃
Step-by-step solution
W_ =-2.303 n R T ₁₀ V₂ V₁ Hence, W_ max n (Given: R , T , V ₂, ~V ₁= Constant) W _ 1 M W (Given: equal mass) Hence, lower the molecular mass, greater is the work done. Among the given, NH ₃ has the lowest molecular mass which performs maximum work.
