The volume of a gas decreases from `500 c c` to `300 c c` when a sample of gas is compressed by an average pressure of 0.6 atm. During this process 10 J of heat is liberated. The change in internal energy isA. `-2.16 J`B. `12.156 J`C. `2.16 J`D. `101.3 J` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C Here: Change in Volume (V) = 500 - 300 = 200cc = 0.2 litre, Pressure (P) = 0.6 atm and heat liberated (q) = 10 J Work done (W) = `PDeltaV=(0.2xx0.6)=0.12` litre-atm But 1 litre - atm = 101.3 J. hence `W=0.12xx101.3=12.156J`. We also know that heat is liberated, therefore it would be negative. Thus change in `DeltaE=q+W=-10+12.16=2.16J`. |
