A gas absorbs 200 ~J heat and expands by 500 ~cm ^3 against a constant external pressure 2 10^5 ~N ~m ⁻² . What is the change in internal energy?
Options
- A800 ~J
- B-750 ~J
- C100 ~J
- D-150 ~J
Correct answer
C. 100 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & V=500 ~cm ^3=0.5 dm ^3 & P _ ext =2 10^5 ~N ~m ⁻²=2 bar & (since, 1 10^5 ~N ~m ⁻²=1 bar) & W =- P _ ext V & =-2 (0.5) & =-1 dm ^3 bar & W =-100 ~J ( since, 1 dm ^3 bar =100 ~J ) & According to first law of thermodynamics, & U=Q+W=200 ~J -100 ~J =+100 ~J & aligned
