An ideal gas is allowed to expand against a constant pressure of 2 bar from 10 L to 50 L in one step. Calculate the amount of work done by the gas. If the same expansion were carried out reversibly, will the work done be higher or lower than the earlier case? (Given that 1 L bar = 100 J)

उत्तर
We know that the amount of work done = – pextΔV
On substituting the values in the formula, we get,
– 2bar × (50 – 10) L = – 80 L bar
According to the described problem, 1 L bar = 100 J
Therefore, – 80 L bar = (– 80 × 100) = – 8000 J
= – 8 kJ, which is the amount of work done
The significance of the negative sign states that the work is done in the surroundings of the system. In the case of reversible expansion, the work done will be more.

The pressure-volume work for an ideal gas can be calculated by using the expression w = `- int_(v_i)^(v_f) p_(ex) dV`. The work can also be calculated from the pV– plot by using the area under the curve within the specified limits. When an ideal gas is compressed (a) reversibly or (b) irreversibly from volume Vi to Vf. choose the correct option.
For an ideal gas, the work of reversible expansion under isothermal condition can be calculated by using the expression w = `- nRT` In `V_f/V_i`.

The expansion is carried out at 300 K and at 600 K respectively.
(i) Work done at 600 K is 20 times the work done at 300 K.
(ii) Work done at 300 K is twice the work done at 600 K.
