The work done to increase the volume of 2 moles of an ideal gas from V to 2 V at a constant temperature T is W. The work to be done to increase the volume of 2 moles of the same gas from 2 V to 4 V at the same constant temperature T is

  1. A 0.5 W
  2. B W
  3. C 2 W
  4. D 4 W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( W = nRT \ln \left(\frac{V_f}{V_i}\right) \) \( W = 2RT \ln \left(\frac{2V}{V}\right) = 2RT \ln 2 \) \( W_{new} = 2RT \ln \left(\frac{4V}{2V}\right) = 2RT \ln 2 \) \( W_{new} = W \)
