One mole of an ideal gas at temperature T_(1) expands according to the law (P/V) = constant. Find the work done when the final temperature becomes T_(2).

Answer»

`R(T_(2) - T_(1))`
`(R//2)(T_(2) - T_(1))`
`(R//4)(T_(2) - T_(1))`
`PV(T_(2) - T_(1))`

Solution :Work done,
`W = underset(V_(1))overset(V_(2))int PDV = underset(V_(1))overset(V_(2))int KVdV (.:. P/V = K = "constant")`
` :. W = 1/2 K(V_(2)^(2) - V_(1)^(2))`
As we know, in case of an ideal gas,
`PV = RT . " But " P = KV` ,
` :. KV^(2) = RT " or " K(V_(2)^(2) - V_(1)^(2)) = R (T_(2) - T_(1))`
` :. W = R/2 (T_(2) - T_(1))`
