10 grams of argon gas is compressed isothermally and reversibly at a temperature of 27^(@)C from 10L to 5L. Calculate the work done for this process in multiple of 10^(20 calories.

10 grams of argon gas is compressed isothermally and reversibly at a t

1.	10 grams of argon gas is compressed isothermally and reversibly at a temperature of 27^(@)C from 10L to 5L. Calculate the work done for this process in multiple of 10^(20 calories.
Answer» Solution :`W_("ISOTHERMAL") = -nRT "ln" (V_(2))/(V_(1))` `= (-10)/(40) xx 2 xx 300 xx "ln" (5)/(10) = 100` cal
