An ideal gas absorbs 210 ~J of heat and undergoes expansion from 3 ~L to 6 ~L against a constant external pressure of 10^5 ~Pa . What is the value of U ?
Options
- A310 ~J
- B-90 ~J
- C-210 ~J
- D190 ~J
Correct answer
B. -90 ~J
Step-by-step solution
1 ~Pa =1 10⁻⁵ bar 10^5 ~Pa =1 bar W =- P _ ext V =-1 (6-3)=-3 dm ^3 bar 1 dm ^3 bar =100 ~J W =-300 ~J Q =+210 ~J According to first law of thermodynamics, U = Q + W U=+210 ~J +(-300 ~J )=-90 ~J
