Three moles of an ideal gas are expanded isothermally from a volume of 300 c m 3 to 2.5 L at 300 K against a pressure of 1.9 a t m . The work done in joules is
Options
- A- 423.56 J
- B+ 423.56 J
- C- 4.18 J
- D+ 4.8 J
Correct answer
A. - 423.56 J
Step-by-step solution
W = - P × d V = - 1.9 a t m × 2.5 - 0.3 L = - 1.9 a t m × 2.2 L = - 4.18 a t m × L = - 4.18 a t m × 101.325 J ∵ 1 a t m × L = 101.325 J = - 423.56 J
