The pressure volume work for an ideal ga...

The pressure volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression `w=-int_(V_(i))^(v_(f))Pex dV`. The work can also be calculated from the pV-plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (B) irreversibly from volume `V_(i)` to `V_(f)` choose the correct option.

A

w(reversible)=w(irreversible)

B

w(Reversible)`lt`w(irreversible)

C

w(reversible)`gt` w(irreversible)

D

w(reversible)=w (irreversible)+Pex`DeltaV`

The rectangular box shown in Fig has partition which can slide without friction along the length of the box. Initially each of the two chambers of the box has one mole of a mono-atomic ideal gas (lambda=5//3) at a pressure P_0 , volume V_0 and temperature T_0 .
