Two moles of an ideal gas expand isother...

Two moles of an ideal gas expand isothermally and reversibly from a volume of 1 litre to 10 litre at `27^(@)C.` What is the maximum work done?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Work done, `w =-nRTln (V _(2) // V _(1))`
`=- (2 mol ) ( 0.08206 L atm K ^(-1) mol ^(-1)) (300 K) ln (10 L // 1L)`
` =-113.37 L atm =- 111. 35 L (8.314 JK ^(-1) mol ^(-1))/(0.08206 L K ^(-1) mol ^(-1)) = - 11486.2 J`
