Work done when 2 mol of an ideal gas is compressed from a volume of \(5 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) to \(2 \cdot 5 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\), under a pressure of \(100 \mathrm{k}\) pa is

  1. A \(497.5 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  2. B \(99.50 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  3. C \(248.7 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  4. D \(49 \cdot 75 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(497.5 \mathrm{~kJ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(=-499 \mathrm{KJ}\)
\(\mathrm{n}=2\) moles
\(\mathrm{V}_{1}=5 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
\(\mathrm{~V}_{2}=1 \mathrm{dm}^{3}=10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
\(\mathrm{~T}_{1}=300 \mathrm{~K}\)
\(\mathrm{P}=100 \mathrm{KP}_{\mathrm{a}}=10^{5} \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{a}}\)
work done \(=-\mathrm{P} \Delta \mathrm{V}\)
\(\quad=-10^{5}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{2}-\mathrm{V}_{1}\right)\)
\(\quad=-10^{5}\left(10^{-2}-5\right)\)
work done \(=-499 \mathrm{KJ}\)
