Question

A gas absorbs 500J heat and utilized QJ in doing work against an external pressure of 2 atm. If ΔE is -510 J, values of ΔV and W respectively are

Moderate
Solution

\Delta E=q+W

 

-510 = 500 J + W
W = -1010 J
W = - PΔV
-1010 J = -2ΔV
101J=101 lit.atm

10 lit.atm= 2atm.V;

V= 5 lit(1 lit=1 dm3)
