A gas is allowed to expand in a well insulated container against a constant external pressure of `2.5 atm` from an initial volume of `2.50 L` to a final volume of `4.50 L`. The change in internal energy `Delta U` of the gas in joules will be:A. `-500J`B. `-505J`C. `+505J`D. `1136.25 J`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Work done in irreversible process
`W=-P_("ext")DeltaV`
`=-2.5[4.5-2.5]=-5 " L atm"`
`=-5xx101.3 J=-505 J`
Since system is well insulated q = 0
By FLOT `DeltaE=q+w`
`DeltaE=W=-505 J`
