An ideal gas on isothermal reversible compression from 10 ~L to 5 ~L performs 1730 ~J of work at 300 ~K . Calculate number of moles of gas involved in compression? ( R =8.314 ~J ~K ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ )
Options
- A2.5
- B2
- C1
- D3
Correct answer
C. 1
Step-by-step solution
aligned & V ₁=10 ~L , ~V ₂=5 ~L , ~W =1730 ~J , ~T =300 ~K , R =8.314 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹, n & =? & ~W _ =-2.303 nRT ₁₀ V ₂ ~V ₁ & 1730 ~J =-2.303 n 8.314 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ 300 ~K ₁₀ ( 5 10 ) & n = 1730 ~J -2.303 8.314 JK ⁻¹ mo ⁻¹ 300 ~K ₁₀(0.5) & n = 1730 -5744.14 (-0.3010) mol & n = 1730 1729 1 ~mol aligned
