JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermodynamical Processes Question Bank Isothermal Process

  • question_answer
    One mole of \[{{O}_{2}}\] gas having a volume equal to 22.4 litres at \[{{0}^{o}}C\] and 1 atmospheric pressure in compressed isothermally so that its volume reduces to 11.2 litres. The work done in this process is [MP PET 1993; BVP 2003]

    A)            \[1672.5\ J\]                         

    B)            1728 J

    C)            \[-1728J\]                              

    D)            \[-1572.5\ J\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[W=-\mu RT{{\log }_{e}}\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}}=-1\times 8.31\times (273+0){{\log }_{e}}\left( \frac{22.4}{11.2} \right)\]            \[=-\,8.31\times 273\times {{\log }_{e}}2\]\[=-1572.5J\] [\[\because \]\[{{\log }_{e}}2=0.693\]]
