Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure...

Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally into a vacuum until its total volume is 20 litres. How much heat is absorbed and how much work is done in the expansion?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have `q=-w=p_("ex")(10-2)=0(8)=0`
No work is done, no heat is absorbed.
