A gas expands against a variable pressure given by `P = (20)/(V)` (where P in atm and V in L). During expansion from volume of 1 litre to 10 litre, the gas undergoes a change in internal energy of 400 J. How much heat is absorbed by the gas during expansion?A. 46 JB. 4660 JC. 5065.8 JD. 4260 J

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`intdw=int-P.dV`
`"implies "w=-int20.(dV)/(V)=-20ln.(V_(2))/(V_(1))`
`w=-46.06 " L-atm"=-4665.8 J`
`DeltaU=q+wimplies400=q-4665.8`
`q = 5065.8 J`
