A system consisting of 1 mole of an ideal gas undergoes an isothermal expansion at `25^(@)` from 1.0 bar to a lower pressure while generating 100 J of work. What is the final pressure of the system if the external pressure of the system is constant of 0.1 bar?A. 1.23 barB. 0.712 barC. 0.958 barD. 0.664 bar |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Given, `p_(ext)=0.1," bar ",R=8.314JK^(-1)mol^(-1),T=298K,` `p_(1)=1" bar",p_(2)=?` `W=-p_(ext)(V_(2)-V_(1))` `=-p_(ext)((nRT)/(p_(2))-(nRT)/(p_(1)))` `=-nRT" "p_(ext)((1)/(p_(2))-(1)/(p_(1)))` or `-100=-1xx8.314xx298xx0.1((1)/(p_(2))-(1)/(1))` `therefore p_(2)=0.712` bar |
