A sample of gas expands from volume V_(1) to V_(2) . The amount of work done by the gas is greatest when the expansion is

Starting from the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands from volume V_(1) to V_(2) in three different ways. The work done by the gas is W_(1) if he process is purely isothermal, W_(2) if purely isobaric and W_(3) if purely adiabatic. Then

Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands from volume V_1 to V_2 in three different ways, the work done by the gas is W_1 if the process is purely isothermal, W_2 if purely isobaric and W_3 if purely adiabatic, then

An ideal gas is allowed to expand against a constant pressure of 2 bar from 10L to 50 L in one step. Calculate the amount of work done by the gas. If the same expansion were carried out reversibly, will the work done be higher or lower than the earlier case ? (Give that, 1 L bar = 100 J)

The magnitude of ethalphy changes for reversible adiabatic expansion of a gas from volume V_(1) to V_(2) (in L) is DeltaH_(1) and for irreversible adiabatic expansion for the same expansion is DeltaH_(2) . Then when DeltaU_(1) and DeltaU_(2) are the changes in magnitudes for the internal energy of gas in the two expansions.

Find the expression for the work done by a system undergoing isothermal compression (or expansion) from volume V_(1) to V_(2) at temperature T_(0) for a gas which obeys the van der waals equation of state. (P +an^(2) //V^(2)) (V-bn) =nRT ?

The figures given below show different processes (relating pressure P and volume V) for a given amount of an ideal gas. W is work done by the gas and DeltaQ is heat absorbed by the gas.

A sample of ideal gas undergoes isothermal expansion in a reversible manner from volume V_(1) to volume V_(2) . The initial pressure is P_(1) and the final pressure is P_(2) . The same sample is then allowed to undergoes reversible expansion under adiabatic conditions from volume V_(1) to V_(2) . The initial pressure being same but final pressure is P_(3) . The work of expansion in adiabatic process (w_(adi)) is related to work of expansion in isothermal process (w_(iso)) is
