For the same increase in volume,why work done is more if the gas is allowed to expand reversibly at higher temperature?

Text Solution

To understand why the work done is more when a gas expands reversibly at a higher temperature for the same increase in volume, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Work Done by Gas**: The work done (W) by a gas during expansion can be expressed mathematically as: \[ W = -P_{\text{ext}} \Delta V ...

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.

An imaginary engine, is capable of expanding the gas upto 10^(13) times. If the engine expands the gas upto the maximum possible extent isothermally at 300 K, then work done by gas is x, whereas if the engine expands upto the maximum possible extent adiabatically, at an initial temperature of 300 K, the temperature falls to -160.6 Kand the work done by gas is y. If the gas is He and all process are reversible in nature, calculate by how many times x is greater than y.
