The work done in an isothermal reversible change involving an ideal gas is given by

Work done during isothermal volume change (in one step) under a constant external pressure (isothermal irreversible process) is given by

The initial volume and pressure of a gas are V and P respectively. It is expand by two different processes such that in each process the final volume becomes 2V. If the work done in isothermal change is W1 and the amount of work done in adiabatic change is W_(2) , then

Let Q and W denote the amount of heat given to an ideal gas the work done by it in an isothermal process.

Obtain an expression for work done by a gas in an isothermal expansion.

StatementI: Work done by a gas in isothermal expansion is more than the work done by the gas in the same expansion adaibatically. Statement II: Temperature remains constant in isothermal ecpansion but not in adiabatic expansion.

What is an isothermal process ? Derive an expression for work done during an isothermal process.
