Four moles of a gas expand isothermally at 300 K. If the final pressure of the gas is 80% of the initial pressure, find the work done by the gas on its surroundings. (R = 8.314 J/mol.K) |

Answer» Data : n = 4, T = 300 K, Pf = 0.8 Pi \(\therefore\) \(\frac{P_i}{P_f}\) = \(\frac{10}8\), R = 8.314 j/mol.K The work done by the gas on its surroundings, W = nRT ln \((\frac{P_i}{P_f})\) = (4) (8.314) (300) 2.303 log10 \((\frac{10}8)\) = 2.3 × 104 log10 (1.25) = 2.3 × 104 × 0.0969 = 2.229 × 103 J |
