If three moles of an ideal gas at 300 K expand isothermally from 30 dm3 to 45 dm3 against a constant opposing pressure of 80 kPa, then the amount of heat transferred is J.
Answer
1200
Solution
Isothermal (ideal gas) ⇒ U = 0 ⇒ q = -w
Irreversible expansion: w = -pext V
w = -(80 103 Pa) (45-30) 10-3 m3
= -1200 J
∴ q = +1200 J (heat absorbed)
Answer: 1200
