If 5 moles of an ideal gas expands from 10 L to a volume of 100 L at 300 K under isothermal and reversible condition then work, w, is −x J. The value of x is . (Given R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1)
Answer
28721
Solution
Isothermal reversible expansion: w = -2.303 nRT V2V1
w = -2.303 5 8.314 300 10010
w = -2.303 12471 1
w = -28720.7 J -28721 J
∴ x = 28721
Answer: 28721
