Define isothermal process. Derive an expression for work done in isoth

1.	Define isothermal process. Derive an expression for work done in isothermal . process.
Answer» SOLUTION :The work done by the gas, `W=int_(V_(i))^(V_(f))P.DV` Writing PRESSURE in terms of volume and temperature `P=(muRT)/(V)` Substituting this value, we GET `W=int_(V_(i))^(V_(f))(muRT)/(V)dV=muRTint_(V_(i))^(V_(f))(dV)/(V)` By performing the integration in equation, we get `W=muRT ln ((V_(f))/(V_(i)))`
