One mole of an ideal gas at 300 K is expanded isothermally from 1 L to 10 L volume. U for this process is : (Use R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1)
- 0 J
- 1260 J
- 2520 J
- 5040 J
Answer
(1) 0 J
Solution
For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature: U = nCV T.
The process is isothermal, T = 0
U = 0
(As per NCERT, for isothermal expansion of an ideal gas U = 0 and q = -w; the data R, 1 L and 10 L are needed only for w, not for U.)
