Two moles of an ideal gas expand freely and isothermally from 5 dm ^3 to 50 dm ^3 . What is the value of H ?
Options
- AZero kJ
- B20 ~kJ
- C100 ~kJ
- D150 ~kJ
Correct answer
A. Zero kJ
Step-by-step solution
A free expansion means expansion against zero opposing force. P _ ext =0 and hence, W =0 For isothermal process, U =0 . H = U + P V = U - W H =0-0=0 ~kJ
