QuestionThermodynamics / reversible isothermal work
A gas in a piston chamber kept in a constant temperature bath at 27°C expands from 25 mL to 250 mL very slowly. If there are 0.001 moles of an ideal gas in the chamber, the work done during the expansion is : (where R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹; ln 10 = 2.3)
- (a) – 5.74 J
- (b) – 2.49 J
- (c) 2.49 J
- (d) 5.74 J
