Q.

For an ideal gas, the work of reversible expansion under isothermal conditions can be calculated by using the expression w=-nRT in Vf/Vi
A sample containing 1.0 mol of an ideal gas is expanded isothermally and reversibly to ten times of its original volume, in two separate experiments. The expansion is carried out at 300 K and at 600 K respectively, Choose the correct option.

Detailed Solution

For reversible isothermal change,

q=w=nRT In VfVi=2.303 nRT logVfVi

W600KW300K=1×R×600 K In1011×R×300 K In101 =600300 =2

U=0 for ideal gas isothermal growth.
Since the temperature stays constant, the internal energy remains constant.
Consequently, U=0.
