Question

A gas absorbs 250 J of heat and expands from 1 litre to 10 litre at constant temperature against external pressure of 0.5 atm. The values of q, w and Δ E will be respectively.

Easy
Solution

W = -PΔV = - 0.5(10-1) =-4.5 lit-atm
                = 4.5x101.3 = -455J
q = +250J
ΔE =  q+W = 250 - 455
                 = -205J
