Calculate the minimum work that must be done to compress 1.0 gm of hyd

1.	Calculate the minimum work that must be done to compress 1.0 gm of hydrogen at N.T.P. to half its initial volume. Given R =8.314 J mol ^(-1) K ^(-1).
Answer» Solution :`W = 2.303 xx r T LOG _(10 ) V _(2) //V _(1) = 2. 303 xx 14. 157 xx 273 log _(10) (0.5) =- 786. 55 J`
