JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

Three moles of an ideal gas are compressed isothermally from \(60 \mathrm{~L}\) to \(20 \mathrm{~L}\) using constant pressure of \(5 \mathrm{~atm}\). Heat exchange \(Q\) for the compression is _______ Lit. atm.

  1. A \(199\)
  2. B \(100\)
  3. C \(200\)
  4. D \(300\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(200\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As isothermal \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=0\) and process is irreversible \(\mathrm{Q}=-\mathrm{W}=-\left[-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{ext}}\left(\mathrm{V}_2-\mathrm{V}_1\right)\right]\) \(\mathrm{Q}=5(20-60)=-200 \mathrm{~atm}-\mathrm{L}\)
