Equal masses in grams of H ₂, ~N ₂, Cl ₂ , and O ₂ , are enclosed in cylinders separately. If these gases expand isothermally and reversibly by 10 dm ^3 at 300 ~K , the work done by gas is maximum for
Options
- AH ₂
- BN ₂
- CCl ₂
- DO ₂
Correct answer
A. H ₂
Step-by-step solution
W _ =-2.303 nRT ₁₀ V ₂ ~V ₁ Hence, W _ 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, H ₂ has the lowest molecular mass.
