Calculate the work done when 2 moles of an ideal gas expands reversibly and isothermally from a volume of 500 ml to a volume of 2 L at 25°C and normal pressure. |

Answer» n = 2 moles Vi = 500 ml = 0.5 lit Vf = 2 lit T = 25°C = 298 K w = -2.303 nRT log\((\frac{V}{V_i})\) w = -2.303 x 2 x 8.314 x 298 x log\(\frac{2}{0.5}\) w = -2.303 x 2 x 8.314 x 298 x log(4) w = -2.303 x 2 x 8.314 x 298 x 0.6021 w = -6871 J w =-6.871 kJ. |
