When 2 moles of an ideal gas are expanded isothermally from a volume of 12.5 ~L to 15.0 L against constant external pressure of 760 ~mm Hg . Calculate the amount of work done in joule?
Options
- A-253 25 ~J
- B-190 0 ~J
- C-1924 0 ~J
- D-25 325 ~J
Correct answer
A. -253 25 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned n &=2 ~mol , ~V ₁=12.5 ~L =12.5 10⁻³ ~m ³, ~V ₂=15.0 ~L =15.0 10⁻³ ~m ³, P &=760 ~mm of Hg =1.013 10⁵ Nm ⁻² ~W &=- P _ ext ( V ₂- V ₁ )=-1.013 10⁵(15.0-12.5) 10⁻³ &=-2.5325 10⁵ 10⁻³ W &=-253.25 ~J aligned
