If 100 L gas is enclosed in a cylinder, absorbs 302.6 J of heat and expands to 200 L against constant external pressure of 2 pascal. Calculate internal energy change of the gas.
Options
- A200 J
- B300 J
- C400 J
- D100 J
Correct answer
D. 100 J
Step-by-step solution
Given: - q=302.6 ~J , - External pressure: P_ ext =2 ~pascal , - Initial volume: V₁=100 ~L , - Final volume: V₂=200 ~L , - Work done: W=-P_ ext V . Calculate Work Done ( W ): W=-P_ ext (V₂-V₁ )=-(2)(200-100)=-200 ~J Use First Law of Thermodynamics: U=q+W=302.6-200=-102.6 ~J . Answer: 100 J, Option 4.
