5 mole of an ideal gas expands isothermally and irreversibly from a pressure of 10 atm to 1 atm against a contant external pressure of 1 atm. W_("irr") at 300K is:

Answer»

`-15.921kJ`
`-11.224kJ`
`-110.83kJ`
none of these

Solution :`W_("irr") = - P_("ext") (DELTA V) = -1 XX ((nRT)/(P_(2)) - (nRT)/(P_(1)))`
`= -1 xx (5 xx 0.0821 xx 300) ((1)/(1) - (1)/(10))`
`= -110.835` L-atm = 11.22 KJ
