In the isothermal reversible compression of `52.0m` mol of a perfect gas at `260 K`, the volume of the gas is reduced to one`-`third of its initial value. Calculate `w` of this provess `y`.

A

0

B

`+123` J

C

`-123` J

D

`+246` J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`W =-nRT ln V_(2)/V_(1) = -52 xx 10^(-3) xx 8.314 xx 260 xx 2.303 log 1/3 = 123 J`

If one mole of an ideal gas at (P_1, V_1) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally (A to B) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure).
