An ideal gas expands isothermally and reversibly from 10 ~m ³ to 20 ~m ³ at 300 ~K performing 5 187 ~kJ of work on surrrounding. Calculate number of moles of gas undergoing expansion? ( R =8 314 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ . )
Options
- A1.5
- B2
- C3
- D1
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
V ₁=10 ~m ³, ~V ₂=20 ~m ³, ~T =300 ~K W _ =-5.187 ~kJ =-5187 ~J , n =? W _ =-2.303 ~nRT ₁₀ V ₂ ~V ₁ -5187=-2.303 n 8.314 300 ₁₀ 20 10 n = 5187 2.303 8.314 300 ₁₀ 2 = 5187 2.303 8.314 300 0.3010 n =3 ~mol
