A gas is allowed to expand in an insulated container against a constant external pressure of 2.5 ~atm from 2.5 ~L to 4.5 ~L , the change in internal energy of the gas in joules is
Options
- A-836.3 ~J
- B-1136.2 ~J
- C-450 ~J
- D-506.5 ~J
Correct answer
D. -506.5 ~J
Step-by-step solution
q =0 due to insulated container From first law of thermodynamics, aligned & U = q + w & W =- Pext [ V ₂- V ₁ ] & =-2.5[4.5-2.5] atm - L & =-2.5 2 ~atm - L & =-5 101.3 ~J & =-506.5 ~J & U = q + w & =0-506.5 & =-506.5 ~J aligned
