The pressure and volume of an ideal gas are related as \(\mathrm{PV}^{3 / 2}=\mathrm{K}\) (Constant). The work done when the gas is taken from state \(A\left(P_1, V_1, T_1\right)\) to state \(\mathrm{B}\left(\mathrm{P}_2, \mathrm{~V}_2, \mathrm{~T}_2\right)\) is _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\left(\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1-\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(\mathrm{PV}^{\mathrm{x}}=\) constant

If work done by gas is asked then

\({W}=\frac{\mathrm{nR} \Delta \mathrm{T}}{1-\mathrm{x}}\)

 Here x  \(=\frac{3}{2}\)

\( W =\frac{\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2-\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1}{-\frac{1}{2}}\)

\(=2\left(\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1-\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2\right) \ldots . \text { Option (1) is correct }\)

If work done by external is asked then

\(\mathrm{W}=-2\left(\mathrm{P}_1 \mathrm{~V}_1-\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{~V}_2\right) \ldots \ldots\) Option \((2)\) is correct
