10 moles of an ideal gas expand isothermally pressure of 5 atm to and reversibly from a 1 atm at 300 K. What is the largest mass that can be lifted through a height of 1 m by this expansion? |

Answer» Given, N = 10 moles Pi = 5 atm Pf = 1 atm T = 300K R = 8.134 J K-1 mol-1 H = 1m \(\because\) Wexp = −2.303 nRT log\(\frac{P_i}{P_f}\) = −2.303 × 10 × 8.314 × 300 log\(\frac{5}{1}\) = −40.15 × 103 J If mass (M) can be lifted by this work through a height of 1m, then Work done = Mgh or M = \(\frac{Work\,done}{g\,h}\) = \(\frac{40.15\times10^3\,kgm^2s^{-2}}{9.81\,ms^{-2}\times1m}\) [\(\because\) J = kg m2s-2] = 4092.76 kg |
